A concept plan shows a grid of new streets – most of which are 4-5 lanes wide – overlaid on top of the vacant triangle of land between Cambridge Street and I-90 in Allston. Four new streets, labelled (from west to east) Seattle St. Connector, Stadium Way Connector, Cattle Drive Connector, and East Drive Connector – would run north-south from I-90 to Cambridge Street. Four other streets would run east-west, roughly parallel to I-90 and the Worcester Line train tracks: two streets are essentially frontage roads for I-90, the northerly (eastbound) which is labelled "Lincoln St. Connector". A block north is a street labelled "Cambridge St. South." And in the northeastern tip of the triangle, running only between Stadium Way Connector and Soldiers Field Road, is a street labelled "Hotel Way"
