From Livable Streets:
Are you willing to wait 22 years for your train to show up?
Now is the time to let state leaders know that we can’t afford to wait. The Allston I-90 Interchange project can transform access and mobility for all in the region right now.
Join us and submit comments on the Draft Environmental Impact Review (DEIR) by Friday, February 9. Each comment becomes part of the environmental review process and helps to define the issues MassDOT must address going forward.
Here are three key points to make in your comment letter:
- Transit should be a priority. We need West Station now, not in 22 years, as a construction mitigation measure and to ensure transit-oriented development.
- Don’t build the viaduct. A surface option will save millions of dollars, be more practical, and maintain opportunities for multimodal connections to and from the river.
- We need better accommodations for walking and biking along the Charles River. Check out WalkBoston’s proposal to #UnchokeTheThroat!
- Design a network of safe, human-scaled streets in the proposed new neighborhood.
To review a longer list of talking points to include in your letter, check out our website here.
Send an email with your comments and your name and address to alexander.strysky@state.ma.
The decisions being made over the next few months will determine whether this is a highway redesign to move cars or a truly multimodal project for people. At this critical point in the planning process, every voice counts. Act now!
