Dear #MA04: The $1B Mass Pike Allston reconstruction is highly relevant to #BrooklineMA#NewtonMA
Will u email I-90Allston@dot.state.ma.us before the Dec 12 comment deadline?
Yesterday MassDOT explained how it plans to move the Mass Pike and Soldiers Field Rd into the water and parks of the Charles River for ~10 years while rebuilding the highway
In the water MassDOT proposes to build a 1/4 mile long, 81' wide "panelized structure” (aka “bailey bridge”). This would hold 4 lanes of Soldiers Field Rd and the Dr Paul Dudley White path

The design for the #Allston Throat selected by @MassDOT needs to be improved to minimize the impact of having 12 highway lanes immediately adjacent to the Charles River parkland. This can be done in a way that is both effective and visually attractive
Here is an example from the EastLink Trail in Melbourne. AUS kgrahamjourneys.wordpress.com/2013/07/16/mel…
