"The America's Cup" Highway" is not limited access, you can cross at Long Wharf, Elm St and Poplar St.This is pretty much due to the wealthy Quaker families of Washington St, Ackman, Benson, McCleod, Gordon, Covell and Reynolds who put a lot of effort into seeing that the rest of the City would have access to their neighborhood, private beaches and piers, much to the surprise of the real estate developers who almost completely destroyed the genuine 18th century waterfront (not a replica, but, the real thing) of this remarkable city. These are the descendants of the people who obtained the "Rights of Englishmen" for the Spanish and Portugese Jews who settled in our City, and who they liked and admired so much. I could go on and on, but I think you get the point.
The Quakers, who can make fun of themselves, have a saying, "The Quakers came here to do good and did very well, indeed"
