I-90 Project: Is This The Best We Can Do?

  • Josephine A. Fiorentino Community Center 123 Antwerp Street Brighton, MA, 02135 United States (map)

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.

This event has passed.

This project entails:

  • Straightening the Mass Pike in Allston to free up land for development;

  • Building a new commuter rail station; and

  • Bringing the Allston viaduct down to at-grade (i.e. the same level).

CRWA has served on the Allston Multimodal Project Task Force since its inception in 2014. We have been consistent in our position since that time; we support the overall project goals and believe they can be achieved while protecting the Charles River.

PARKING

There is parking on several streets surrounding the community center including: Antwep Street, Ext., Justinian Way and Gould Street. The signs say “Charlesview Resident Permit Parking from 10 pm to 6 am.” Between 6 am and 10 pm guests to the community center are welcomed to park in these spaces.
