Massachusetts transportation agencies are planning a massive reconfiguration of Interstate 90, Soldiers Field Road and the Framingham/Worcester railroad line along the Charles River waterfront in Allston – known as the Allston Multimodal (I-90) Project.
While we support this effort to improve transportation infrastructure and free up unused land for development, the current plan has a major flaw: MassDOT wants to build 12 lanes of traffic between Boston University and the Charles River, which does not fit the location and will require building into the Charles.
On top of intruding into the river, this lane increase would also undercut the state's and the City of Boston's goals of cutting car traffic to meet urgent climate standards.
Please join us in calling on MassDOT to redesign this project with fewer lanes, preventing intrusion into the Charles River and staying committed to the state's climate goals.
