The Charles River Conservancy gives the parks a voice through advocacy. Working closely with a coalition of environmental and mobility organizations, we spearhead important campaigns to improve the accessibility of our parks and safety of our paths. These efforts include:
ALLSTON MULTIMODAL PROJECT
In coalition with environmental and mobility organizations, the CRC advocates for improved parks, paths, and access as part of MassDOT’s rebuilding of the I-90 Allston Interchange. Learn more
PEDESTRIAN/BIKE UNDERPASSES
The CRC has advocated for pedestrian/ bicycle underpasses to be included on the Boston side of the Anderson Memorial, Western Avenue, and River Street Bridges. Learn more
