Lectern Session 1373: Various Facets of Context Sensitive Solutions: Performance, Implementation, and Opportunities.

Keri Pyke, P.E., PTOE, our resident “plan-gineer,” will be presenting about A Context-Sensitive Solution in Allston Balancing the Needs of Engineers, Abutters, Operators, and Travelers related to the I-90 Allston Interchange Improvement Project.

In order to progress the Allston Multimodal Project, the Massachusetts Department of Transportation enlisted the assistance of an Independent Review Team (IRT) to challenge assumptions and help stakeholders work through entrenched opinions. HSH lead the alternatives analysis and was responsible for roadway, traffic, utility, constructability, and construction cost estimate review. The IRT determined that the project could be designed in a more context-sensitive manner, and such a design would prove to be more advantageous for the majority of transportation users and impacted abutters.
