57 plus 33 houses (plus whatever Comstock Builders KNOWINGLY placed in the path), versus 50-60 for the Purple Line

JFK was from the Boston area.

He took a greater interest in planning than perhaps any other U.S. President since.

Might he have imagined such a park covered highway tunnel alongside Catholic University of America, beneath today's John William McCormack Drive?

John William McCormack was the U.S. Speaker of the House from 1962 to 1971:
born December 21, 1891 – died November 22, 1980.

German A7 Project shows the proper basic idea for an urban highway, and what's happened with such since the 1970s 'de-mapings'- outside of Washington, D.C.:

Instead of a park covered cut and cover tunnel in places such as alongside Catholic University of America, the policy within Washington, D.C. is to place a disproportionate traffic burden in its least affluent areas, with non tunneled freeway configurations that block off local waterfront access.
