Research done for the Boston-Fenway Project shows that 55,000 people are drawn into the area daily by the schools, hospitals and other institutions, Cotton said.

Of these, he said, about 26,000 are related to the medical facilities and about 23,000 to the schools. One-third of the total travels by public transportation, he said. Buses will run from about 5:01 a.m. to 12:30 a.m., except on Sundays, when service begins at 5:45 a.m. The fare will be 20 cents, and there will be no transfers between streetcars and buses.

The new route will be called "Route 39 Arborway-Copley." New signs are being erected and that maps will be distributed throughout the area, Foster said. A light rail vehicle will be used to shuttle travelers from Copley to Prudential and Symphony ing congestion by rerouting some buses, but project staff member Robert Stevenson said that transit authority officials felt the proposals had been made too late to be used. Portions of Huntington avenue expected to be most affected by the construction are the outbound lane from the subway tunnel entrance at Northeastern to around the Museum of Fine Arts and the outbound lane from Longwood avenue to Brigham Circle. During last summer's construction, there was not the added pressure of a major MBTA project. Virtually every component of the Arborway.

line is to be removed and replaced with new materials Claire Cotton, director of the Boston-Fenway Project, said: "No one really knows what will happen, but we know from last summer that when there is a tieup on Huntington avenue nothing decision to delay the work at least a year, he said. Huntington avenue buses will run on Huntington avenue at least every six minutes during rush hours and every 10 minutes at other times during the construction work, beginning March 22, MBTA Chairman Robert L. Foster said. The Arborway line serves a vast medical area encompassing six major hospitals, Northeastern University, the Museum of Fine Arts, Simmons, Emmanuel and Boston State colleges, and many other institutions. Representatives of some of organizations in the area, recalling severe traffic congestion that occurred last summer when the inbound lane of Huntington avenue was rebuilt, are apprehensive about the project's impact.

The Boston-Fenway Project, an association of institutions in the area, made several proposals to the MBTA for minimiz By Charles A. Radin Globe Staff The Arborway branch of the MBTA's Green Line will close in two weeks for the rest of this year. Bus service will be substituted for the line's streetcar service, which is to be sus-' pended while the MBTA and the state Department of Public Works rebuild the street, tracks and sewers on Huntington avenue. A plan to close the Red Line from Ash-tnont to Fields Corner for four months this summer, also for rebuilding, has been put off. MBTA operations director Andrew C.

Hyde said yesterday that the Red Line section "definitely needs rebuilding, due to a lack of maintenance over the last 30 years." The complicated arrangements that must be made with other government agencies to substitute buses for such a major transit lines was a key factor in the 2 i ST.

The stainless steel turnstiles are in working order, ready to accept fares. The two escalators are running smoothly, ready to carry passengers to the platform where they'll board the trains. Everything seems ready for the grand opening in two weeks of the new $57 million MBTA station connecting Braintree with Boston and Cambridge via the Red Line. Everything is ready. Except Braintree itself.

The selectmen have asked Gov. Edward J. King to delay the opening. "The MBTA estimates 5000 cars will head for Braintree Station in the morning rush hour," said Robert R. Sherman, Braintree's executive secretary.

"Many will be so-called 'kiss-and-ride' vehicles with wives or husbands dropping off spouses. About 70 percent of the cars will come from Rte. 3, but we're not worried about those vehicles because of the new ramp that will take that traffic toward the station. "We're concerned about the 30 percent that will come from Randolph, Holbrook, Avon and Brockton along Rte. 37 through If the governor considers the delay too long, the selectmen want him to wait at least until it's been decided who will pay the police overtime costs some estimates are as high as $1 million annually to enforce parking regulations and control the expected increase in traffic.

The selectmen said such costs should not be borne by the taxpayers of Braintree because the station is a regional facility and traffic a state problem. King's decision is expected next Wednesday. If he decides to open the station on schedule, the selectmen may seek a temporary restraining order to keep the station closed. MBTA spokesman Paul DiNatale said: "We want to see the Braintree Station open on March 22, but naturally we'll go along with any recommendation of Gov. King's.

Our studies show that some new traffic will be generated along Rte. 37, but not enough to clog Braintree streets. We don't think a big traffic jam will be created." Moreover, DiNatale said the MBTA has received notice from the Urban Mass Transit Administration that a delay in opening the station could jeopardize future federal grants for mass transit pro jects in Massachusetts; Tests have been made since December and the trains are ready to run, DiNatale said. Construction of the Ivory street extension to alleviate some traffic problems at South Braintree square has been delayed because of environmental considerations, said Justin L. Radio, chief engineer of the state Department of Public Works.

The proposed roadway will run through the wetlands of the Monatiquot River. Federal Fish and Wildlife officials want to know if the laying of stone in the area will increase the temperature of the water in the stream, Radio said. "But the chief issue raised by the federal Emergency Management Agency is in the flood plain where the agency wants the roadway built above the flood level of the so-called 100-year storm," Radio said. The two agencies must be satisfied before the Army Corps of Engineers can grant a permit to the Department of Pub-lie Works to proceed. If all goes well, construction could begin within two months and possibly be completed before the end of the year, Radio said.

If a major redesign of the roadway is required, it would take more than a year to complete the road, he said. I IIKISIIW SCIKM KING'S CHAPEL Corner Tremont and School Sts REV. CARL SC0VEL. Mlilstir 11 A.M. MORNING PRAYER SERMON Danlal Plnkhant.

Radin and William Mills Globe Staff Not a sound could be heard in the Senate president's dining room in the State House yesterday afternoon when the time came for Theodore Lutz to speak. Lutz, head of the US Urban Mass Transportation Administration, will play a key role in deciding whether the proposal to extend the MBTA's Blue Line to Lynn at a cost of $250 million to $400 million wins federal support. "Frankly, gentlemen, one of my concerns in making this decision will be whether you have a stable and reli-, able funding mechanism," Lutz said. All around the crowded room, eyes were averted.

Feet were shuffled. A few coughs were heard. Most of his audience was painfully familiar with the legendary instability of the MBTA's funding mechanism. 1 Some of thoie present, like state Transportation Secretary Barry Locke and MBTA Chairman Robert L. Foster, have been frequent battlers with others, like Lynn Mayor Antonio J.

Marino and MBTA Advisory Board director James E. Smith, on that subject. The Blue Line extension is one of a very few subjects on which they agree. "As we evaluate such investments, they have to be looked at not just for the short-term despite the realities of the short-term political world," Lutz said. The audience including such political luminaries as US Sen.

Paul E. Tsongas, US Rep. Nicholas N. Mavroules, state House Speaker Thomas W. McGee, plu9 a cluster of would-be developers shifted again.

Lutz gave no indication of specific feelings on the Blue Line project, but said he would decide in three or four weeks whether to grant $3,5 million for preliminary engineering. Only a final approval would be needed after that. Afterward, no worries were expressed about Lutz'i remarks. Locke said he was confident of a positive decision. Lutz also cautioned against over-optimism earlier In the day during a walking tdur with politician! and devel- opcrs through Central Square in Lynn.

"I want to make clear that authorization of these federal funds would permit preliminary investigations to determine whether the extension Is feasible.
