Congrats to @MassDOT, @Steph_Pollack for creative solution on new Pike/Soldiers Field configuration in Allston--and congrats to @ABetterCity, @StreetsBoston, @MassBike, @CharlesRiverCRC, @PeoplesPike, community activists & many others for their hard work!
Gov. @CharlieBakerMA plans to confront Boston's traffic problem with a whole lotta little measures - and further study on some bigger ideas.
Activists who have pushed for years for the highway to come down —including @ofsevit, @ABetterCity, and @harrymattison — are happy with the Mass Pike decision, but are now looking at the big next steps (esp West Station):
We are pleased that @MassDOT has responded to community input (from @StreetsBoston @PeoplesPike @MassBike @ABetterCity & others) and selected the "hybrid" alternative design to ground the #MassPike.
Baker's transit commission picked the right paths forward for mass transit--including a recommendation for new funding, says Rick Dimino of @abettercity http://bit.ly/2H4D4yB
