A map of the City of Boston's proposed route for a new "multimodal corridor" between North and South Stations. The route includes Causeway Street in front of North Station, Congress Street between Causeway and Post Office Square, and either Federal, Congress, or Pearl Street (to be determined) to Dewey Square and South Station. From there, the route would continue onto Summer Street into the Seaport.
