example, a Lowell resident to seamlessly commute by trainto Plymouth. The same principal, backers say, could apply toAmtrak, facilitating uninterrupted service along theNortheast Corridor from Washington, D.C., to northern NewEngland.

• How Much Would It Cost?No one’s really sure. Baker said there is a lot of debate

about projected costs, with current estimates ranging from $2billion to $4 billion. Dukakis noted that Los Angeles wasbuilding a nearly 2-mi. underground rail connection at a pro-jected cost of $1.4 billion. He said the Boston project couldbe accomplished with cost-effective tunnel boring technolo-gy, an older version of which was used in building the RedLine extension to Alewife. Another expense to consider: TheMBTA’s diesel-powered locomotives probably can’t be usedin the tunnel and would need retrofitting with electricengines.

• What’s the Alternative?Right now, the alternative appears to be expanding the

two stations rather than connecting them. The Legislaturehas authorized capital funds to expand South Station, in partto provide more track space so trains can turn around to goback in the same direction. Aside from improving trans-portation options, Dukakis argued the rail link would elim-inate the need for an expensive overhaul of the two stations.Baker isn’t so sure. He said it’s not necessarily an either-orsituation, and noted the economic development potentialtied to a South Station expansion could allow that project toeventually pay for itself.

• Big Dig Redux?Any plan to build a transportation tunnel under down-

town Boston will inevitably invite comparisons to the BigDig, the massive highway project that was riddled with costoverruns and caused major disruptions during construction.“This is no Big Dig, folks,” declared Dukakis on more thanone occasion at his recent news conference. In addition to

being far smaller in scope, he said the cost of the rail linkcould be offset by savings from scrapping the South Stationexpansion.

• What’s Next?A lot must happen before a North-South rail link can go

forward. The first step could be a $2 million design studythat was authorized in a previous transportation bond bill.Dukakis and Weld are also creating a 21-member workinggroup to flesh out details of their proposal. Frank DePaola,the MBTA’s general manager, noted the state recently creat-ed a Project Selection Advisory Committee to evaluate thepros and cons of all expansion proposals. Each will be givena score to help prioritize capital investment by the state.Baker described himself as cautious — not skeptical —about the rail link, adding that his immediate focus was onfixing the T after last winter’s disastrous performance.

Ex-Governors Spark New Discussion of Boston Rail Link

The powerful conservancy has a history of pushing backagainst plans that would bring in bulldozers. Its chairman,investor Peter Malkin, is also chairman emeritus of a trustthat counts the Empire State Building among its properties,and its honorary board includes Vincent Scully, professor ofthe history of art in architecture at Yale University, and

Robert A.M. Stern, the dean of Yale’s architecture school.A proposal to widen a section of the parkway was defeat-

ed in the 1970s, according to Smyth, and this time aroundofficials said there were no serious discussions about majorchanges. The conservancy insists that widening the Merritt isnot a possibility because its distinctive overpasses wouldhave to be destroyed or significantly altered.The state has proposed a new interchange with a local

road and a recreation trail that would run along the parkway,but those are opposed by the conservancy.Connecticut Transportation Commissioner James

Redeker said officials often work with property owners,advocates and others with stakes in improvement projects,but the support for the Merritt is different in its passion andorganization.“The conservancy has a unique way to focus our atten-

tion,” he said.A $100 billion, 30-year transportation overhaul proposed

by Gov. Dannel P. Malloy calls for spending nearly $31 bil-lion on highways. In addition to widening several sections ofI-95 and I-84, it would replace a Hartford viaduct and astacked interchange in Waterbury known as the “mixmas-ter.”Malkin said widening the parkway is out of the question.“As a practical matter that would be impossible,” he said.Supporters of the recreational trail, which would be closed

to motorized vehicles, say it would establish a safe route forjoggers, walkers, roller-bladers and others. The conservancyopposes the trail because it would require clear-cutting oftrees and construction of bridges over streams.State transportation officials say the other contentious pro-

posal, to rebuild and reconfigure the interchange with Route7, will ease traffic congestion and delays at intersections.A powerful state lawmaker said constituents and others

overwhelmingly back state efforts to fix the interchange.Sen. Bob Duff, a Norwalk Democrat and Senate MajorityLeader, said the incomplete interchange is an “embarrass-ment” and altering it is “long overdue.”The conservancy won a legal challenge in 2006 on a pre-

vious effort to rework the interchange. Malkin said if arevised plan were the same or similar to what was halted bythe legal action, the conservancy and other nonprofit groups“would again take all available action to protect and pre-serve” the Merritt.Still, congestion is as constant a problem for motorists on

the Merritt as it is on any other highway in Connecticut. Butformer Transportation Commissioner Emil Frankel saidefforts to preserve the parkway still pay off even if trafficremains clogged at rush hour.“You see calendars of Connecticut that don’t show 95,” he

said. “They show the Merritt.'' (This story also can be found on Construction

RIDOT Seeking Bids for Inspection of Drainage SystemsThe Rhode Island Department of

Transportation (RIDOT) announced Sept.10 that it is seeking qualified bidders toinspect and inventory its statewide system ofcatch basins, manholes and outfalls in anongoing effort to better meet state and feder-al stormwater drainage regulations and makenecessary infrastructure improvements toreduce flooding. The assessment also marks the adminis-

tration’s continued efforts to project the envi-ronment and support job growth.This work comes on the heels of land-

mark legislation passed this year to eliminateoutdated underground wastewater systemslike cesspools and streamline wetlands per-mitting by providing a consistent process forthe business community while strengtheningwetlands protection.“We have already made great strides in

conservation efforts this year, and this is justthe latest example,” Gov. Gina M.Raimondo said. “It’s great to see RIDOT

stepping forward to do its part to protect theenvironment and provide a reliable and sus-tainable infrastructure for all of RhodeIsland.”Although it is estimated that the state is

responsible for 25,000 stormwater catchbasins, 2,000 outfalls, and 100 structural bestmanagement practices (stormwater treat-ment systems like detention ponds, retentionponds, and stormwater treatment units), thiswill be the first assessment of its kind byRIDOT. The results of this assessment willprovide a comprehensive inventory of theseassets and help the Department take a proac-tive approach to cleaning and maintainingthese structures, rather than just respondingto reports of flooding and damaged drainagesystems.“Just like our recent re-inspection of the

state’s structurally deficient bridges, thisassessment is the first step in putting ourhouse in order when it comes to drainagesystems,” RIDOT Director Peter Alviti Jr.

said. “Rhode Island is blessed with abundantnatural resources including NarragansettBay and hundreds of lakes, ponds and rivers.It is imperative that we protect these fragileresources.”Failure to properly maintain the state’s

drainage systems could result in water con-tamination and closed roadways resultingfrom significant weather events.Additionally, a properly maintained drainagesystem will also help to protect the state'sinvestment in paving by prolonging the lifeof Rhode Island’s roads.RIDOT also is in the process of imple-

menting an asset management approachthroughout the Department. This involvesdeveloping a comprehensive inventory ofevery piece of infrastructure and trackingtheir needs to assure they are properly main-tained, reducing the need for costly rehabili-tation and reconstruction projects. Thedrainage assessment is a key piece of thisapproach, allowing the Department to bring

this important system into a state of goodrepair and strategically plan for its long-termupkeep.With this new assessment in hand,

RIDOT plans to establish a more compre-hensive approach to maintaining the state’sdrainage system, made possible by a newdrainage crew in its Highway & BridgeMaintenance Division that will focus entire-ly on maintaining the system. Currently, thisis just one of many responsibilities for itsexisting crews.“This is one of many improvements

we’re looking to tackle at RIDOT,” Alviti.“We’re taking a back to basics approachacross the board, and having a fully inte-grated plan for maintaining our drainagesystem is paramount as we move for-ward.”

Hepburn Estate Owner Buys Saybrook LighthouseBy Kenneth GosselinHARTFORD COURANT

OLD SAYBROOK, Conn. (AP) TheNew York builder who bought and renovat-ed Katharine Hepburn’s shoreline estate andthen constructed a beach house on the prop-erty has now turned his sights out to sea —and the Saybrook Breakwater Light.Frank J. Sciame Jr. said he is the buyer

who placed the high bid of $290,000 in anonline auction for the iconic lighthouse thatwas announced recently — and he plans torestore and renovate it as a guest house forfamily and friends.The 129-year-old lighthouse — rendered

on some Connecticut motor vehicle licenseplates — is about a three-minute boat ridefrom the dock at the Hepburn estate in theFenwick section of Old Saybrook.“I’ve been looking at it for over 10 years

since I’ve lived at the house,” Sciame said.“It something that everyone sees if you buya property in the borough of Fenwick. It’s animportant part of the seascape.”

Sciame said he does not know how muchit will cost to renovate the lighthouse, but thework could easily run into the hundreds ofthousands of dollars.Sciame envisions a wine cellar in the

basement, a kitchenette on the second floor,a master bedroom suite on the third floor,one or two bedrooms on the fourth floor, andan outdoor area on the open fifth-floor deckto take advantage of the views.“The exterior needs a good restoration,

the window pediments, doors and win-dows,” Sciame said. “I’d like to do it right.I do have a love for historic buildings andthis is a great historic structure.”The 48-ft. high, cast-iron structure is list-

ed on the National Register of HistoricPlaces, a designation that would regulate anywork done on the structure’s exterior. Thelighthouse remains a functioning beacon,including its fog horn, even under privateownership.The federal government’s General

Services Administration, which oversees thesale of lighthouses for the Coast Guard, said

it expects to formally award the lighthouse— also known as the Saybrook Outer Light— to Sciame soon, pending final review ofthe bid. Sciame is then required to negotiatea lease with the state for the submerged landsunder the lighthouse.Sciame said he hopes to close the pur-

chase early next year.Sciame has had a connection to Fenwick

for a decade. In 2004, he and his wife,Barbara, purchased the Hepburn propertyfor $6 million, a year after the actress'sdeath. The couple subdivided the 3.5-acreproperty into three lots and pursued anextensive, top-to-bottom renovation ofHepburn’s house.Earlier this year, the Sciames completed

the construction of a 3,800-sq.-ft. beachhouse on the lot east of the main house.The main house has been on and off the

market for several years, last listed for $14.8million. Recently, the Sciames decided tokeep the 8,500-sq.-ft. main house, whichthey had used as a summer home, and the lotto the west. Originally, they had intended to

keep only the beach house, but they are nowlisting it at $6.8 million.Sciame’s ownership of the storied proper-

ty has not been without controversy. He bat-tled with the borough over the height ofgranite posts marking the entrance to thedriveway off Mohegan Avenue. Sciame alsowon a $2.2 million jury award against a titleinsurance company over access to the prop-erty.The price Sciame agreed to pay is less

than the $340,000 bid in a 2013 auction forthe same lighthouse. That deal fell throughwhen a lease with the state for the land underthe lighthouse couldn’t be negotiated. Sincethen, the state legislature enacted a law toclearly outline the path for such negotiations.Just two of the state’s 20 lighthouses —

Morgan Point in the Noank section ofGroton and Stamford Harbor Light — are inthe hands of private property owners.
