This assumes no expansion of commuter rail lines--only expansion of subway (& tech upgrades on commuter lines to make them compatible)
The two proposed tunnels are outside crowded downtown peninsula of Boston, would hopefully be less complicated to drill for that reason
Blue Line extension parallel or beneath Red Line as far as Harvard, then to Framingham Line in Newton, via Watertown
Green line under Washington St to Dudley, then Blue Hills Ave to near Mattapan, where it joins Fairmount Line
Such tunnels would be much longer than a North-South link, but wouldn't be jostling for space w Big Dig or skyscraper foundations
