The committee preferred moving the Route 2 overpass west and strongly recommended a second site connection from Route 2 near the current north access, saying Commonwealth Avenue alone would create significant traffic and safety problems. Members also questioned whether the proposed 800–1,000 homes and approximately 1.8 parking spaces per unit were appropriate.
