When construction is completed next June, there will be no cars at all on the road between the northwest corner of the Yard and the fire station at Broadway and Cambridge St. The former roadway will be landscaped with grass, trees and shrubs; new sidewalks will connect the Yard with Lowell Lecture Hall, the Law School, and other University buildings in the "north campus." The project's total cost to Harvard will be about $3 million--$2.8 million for construction and the rest for administrative expenses and landscaping...
There are also plans for a possible underground link with the proposed Cambridge Common Garage--a huge parking structure which would be located beneath the Common.

He could not be more specific, because his autopsy did not include a microscopic examination of the twins' connected tissues. They had requested that they not be separated even after death-so that they could be buried in a special coffin in the state in which they had lived...
