The I-90 Allston Multimodal Project will reconnect the Allston community and deliver transformational transportation options, unprecedented development opportunities, and critical environmental benefits for Boston, Worcester, and beyond. I'm thrilled to share this short video explaining the project scope, benefits, and urgency. With generous support from the Barr Foundation and in partnership with Denterlein and Good Life Productions, A Better City produced a short educational video explaining the project scope, benefits, and urgency.
Thank you to Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley, Governor Maura Healey, State Representative Mike Moran, Mayor Michelle Wu, Chief of Planning and Director of the Boston Planning and Development Agency Arthur Jemison, Worcester Regional Chamber of Commerce President and CEO Timothy Murray, Conservation Law Foundation President Bradley Campbell, and I-90 Allston Task Force and People's Pike Member Jessica Robertson for their participation and leadership. This educational video was made possible by generous support from the Barr Foundation and partnership with Denterlein and Good Life Productions.
In terms of next steps, the Massachusetts Congressional delegation, Greater Boston business community, and Allston community stakeholders have united in support of this project and in support of an application for federal funding through the U.S. Department of Transportation Reconnecting Communities and Neighborhoods Grant Program. A decision on that federal funding application is expected in the coming weeks.
Please do not hesitate to reach out to Tom Ryan with questions or comments about this once-in-a-generation opportunity.
