An animated GIF rendering of different highway configurations along a riverbank park (left) and a railroad (right). In one frame, labelled "original proposed rendering," the landscape is dominated by a 12-lane highway, with little greenery. The next frame, labelled "6-lane Mass. Pike, 4-lane Soldiers Field Road", shows an alternative with two fewer highway lanes and some trees and a bike path along the riverbank. The third frame, labelled "6-lane Mass. Pike, 2-lane Soldiers Field Road", shows even more trees and green space along the riverbanks.
