Congratulations to Stephanie Pollack, and Welcome to MassDOT Secretary Jamey Tesler

In January, MassDOT Secretary Pollack was appointed to the Federal Highway Administration by the Biden Administration. While advocating for a better Allston Multimodal Project over the past several years, we've appreciated Pollack's engagement with the I-90 Allston Task Force of stakeholders. We wish her the best of luck in her new role, and look forward to working with MassDOT's new Secretary Jamey Tesler as we continue efforts to improve the project for the river, the parks, and communities.
