KNOW WHAT’S COMING

The Allston Multimodal (I-90) Project entails straightening the Mass Pike, building a new commuter rail stop, and enabling a new neighborhood to be built on what is now an abandoned rail yard. Join us for a free presentation and Q&A at the Josephine A. Fiorentino Community Center to discuss the project and design options to improve water quality and naturalize the riverbank. Light refreshments will be served.

There is widespread support for the benefits this project can bring in numerous ways. An area of contention remains what to do in the “throat” area between Boston University and the Charles River, where MassDOT (see rendering) proposes expanding roadway to the river’s edge, and installing the Paul Dudley White bike/pedestrian path in the river, harming river health, eliminating space for trees and parkland, and reducing flood storage capacity in an already flood-prone area.
