In North Orston/Brighton, traffic and traffic jams in Orston have become a problem.
But as Harvard plans to invest and grow on a large scale, there are thousands of employees and students on about 600 acres.
Along highways and rivers, residents are concerned that air quality and quality of life can be affected.
So last month, a meeting of the Boston Reconstruction Administration
The Allston library division attracted more than 50 relevant residents and elected officials or their staff to hear from senior transport officials and experts.
But many people complain that their problems and comments cannot be made public.
The meeting is mainly conducted through PowerPoint presentations.
Speakers including cities
The Cecil Group was hired, and the job of the consultant was to collect the opinions of the residents and put forward feasible plans for the nearby areas;
Development Group at Harvard University Orston campus
And a representative of the traffic executive office, who outlined the plan for the city ring
The university that connects the Longwood Medical Area, Boston University, the Orston campus of Harvard University, and the Cambridge campus.
Harry matessen, member of the Harvard Allston Task Force, said, \"there is not enough time for the schedule for tonight or the fall meeting . \".
\"On these issues, we are thousands of miles apart: on the bridge on the river, on the question of how we cross Pike.
In a later interview, Jessica Schumacher, a spokeswoman for the bra, said that while the fall was packed with other community planning meetings, after the winter vacation, residents\' questions and feedback on the streets and traffic will be \"absolutely\" with extra time.
Within the limited time allowed, the neighbors made a proposal from Cecil group to ease traffic on West Avenue and North Harvard Street by expanding the capacity of Lincoln Street and Everett Street.
They are also skeptical about the proposal to set up a parking lot near the toll road exit.
This was proposed as a way to exclude cars from the neighborhood and as part of the \"intermodal hub\" which will eventually include the railway now on the CSXfreight line, bike rental/bike rack area, bus connection and urban ring in planning.
The presentations did not address the issue of redesigning toll road ramps, which several aircraft have acknowledged will happen --
At a meeting earlier this year, speakers noted that the ramp was falling concrete on the railway line below.
Similarly, the neighborhood often
The request station on the commuter rail line traveling along the toll road is only used as a long-term
Period of benefit (15 to 25 years ).
Len Kelliher, 75, said: \"I am shocked to hear that this will not happen in my lifetime . \"
Kevin Hornan, a Democratic representative from Brighton, said: \"I have been hearing from voters about building railway stations nearby . \".
\"People come back and say it\'s not economically viable.
But with recent developments
He quoted the new headquarters and St.
Elizabeth Hospital-
\"Now is the time to revisit this.
\"Putting part of Storrow Drive underground is also touted as a way to open the community to the River Park, but not everyone is touted.
Suggestions for adding pedestrians-
The activation signal suggested by the Harvard representative will \"drive traffic into the community,\" said Paul Berkeley, member of the Olston task force at Harvard University.
\"We want to have a frustrated Storrow Drive in the mix,\" said Tim McHale at Ridgefield Street . \".
In addition, \"Harvard University must come up with a new transportation plan to achieve zero new travel.
Joe begantook from Harvard is half done.
Show the team the time the university planners have envisioned so far;
Beggan says it is essential to create more river connections to Harvard Square, as well as south connections through toll roads (linked to Longwood Medical District.
Harvard\'s plan will make pedestrians and bicycles more popular and provide better access to transportation.
Their sketches include bike paths along the West Avenue and North Harvard Street, bicycles and sidewalks across campus and rivers, and bus lanes that are also suitable for cycling.
But the BU student, Galen Mook, who represents the Allston Brighton Bike, questions whether speeding buses and bikes can be safely mixed.
He also pointed out the weaknesses of the bike lanes, rather than being basically separate.
On the Commonwealth Trail, near BU, he said, a new bike lane was recently painted, \"three bicycles were hit by a car last week \".
\"Bicycles should be separated from cars with road ties.
\"The university is still talking about creating a new street, Stadium Road, which will be parallel to North Harvard Street, possibly a place where city ring buses can have a dedicated right-hand side --of-way.
In the end, all the planners touted
Known as the \"mobile center\", it consists of an information booth with rental bicycles, wireless Internet and real equipment
Information about when the bus or shuttle arrives, the map, and how to connect with other means of transport.
These hubs are low
Cost, increase the non-
Car Choice, they said.
