Delays in clearing the Boylston Street MBTA yards--the current site for the proposed library--have led the library's trustees to consider abandoning that location, a Boston television station reported last night.

The Kennedy Library trustees, reportedly anxious to begin construction this year, are said to be considering Washington, D.C. as an alternate site.
