Massachusetts Department of Transportation
10 Park Plaza, Suite 4160
Boston, MA 02116Dear Secretary Davey,
The I-90 Viaduct Interchange Improvement Project has the potential to dramatically improve quality of life in the surrounding neighborhoods. We are writing to urge you to establish a stakeholder working group so that community input is incorporated from the outset of project design.
There are many different groups, active in the neighborhood that may warrant inclusion in this process.
The I-90 Viaduct Interchange Improvement Project is more than a transportation project, it has the potential to fundamentally change the way Allston and North Allston connect to each other, the river and the region. We appreciate your consideration of this proposal.
Sincerely,
Senator William N. Brownsberger
Second Suffolk and MiddlesexSenator Sal N. DiDomenico

MassDOT has responded to our letter above. MassDOT will initiate an I-90 Brighton-Allston Interchange Improvement Task Force that will convene this spring and conclude its work in July of 2014. You can view a copy of MassDOT’s letter here.
We do not yet know the final composition of the task force but we will continue to post more information about this task force as it develops.
