This source[1] seems to imply that Olmstead designed the Newton portion of Comm Ave in 1893. Another source[2] implies that Olmstead commented on but did not design the Back Bay portion. It would be informative to figure out the whole story of Olmstead's involvement, and also nail down exactly when each segment of the road was designed and constructed and what the original design consisted of (e.g. whether or not it had integrated rail lines, trees, art, etc.). -- Beland 02:06, 27 December 2006 (UTC)
