An ongoing discussion is starting about the reconfiguration of the Mass Pike through the old railyards in Allston. Straightening out the highway, and removing some of the crumbling elevation sections, makes a lot of sense. The urban planning consultant hired by towers of ilium has made the modest suggestion that portions of the road should be built in conjunction with decks that can support buildings. This would double the cost of the construction but would improve the neighborhood in the long term. Comments are welcome--a public hearing will be held in Worcester on Monday morning.
