One chilly Saturday morning, the mostly gray-haired students sat facing their laptops as Carl Baty, 63, stepped behind a lit projector and began to show them a step that may be second-nature to many 10-year-olds: copying and pasting text into a new document on their screens.
BOSTON – Averting traffic woes in the area around Boston's North Station – as huge office, residential and hotel towers begin to rise in the neighborhood – is the goal of a city planning effort that kicked off this week.
After an initial phase, a transportation consultant will be sought next year to aid in the effort to ease traffic and promote better circulation around the commuter rail station, Government Center and the North End, according to the Boston Redevelopment Authority, or BRA. Its goal is to map out transportation strategies for the next 15 years.
