Keeping a Close Eye On The Harvard Allston Expansion
With the announcement of the construction slowdown of the science complex in Allston, some of us Allston residents realized that there may very well be a large hole in the ground for many more years to come.
Suddenly, we looked around and saw that there were many issues with the Harvard 50 year plan for Allston that the neighborhood needs to keep an eye on. For those that live in Allston / Brighton, or in Cambridge, or in Boston, we need to be more vigilant to prevent our town from becoming nothing more than empty buildings for the next 50 years.

Lowe’s meeting tomorrow
Posted on March 3rd, 2010 No commentsFrom AllstonBrighton2006:
Lowe’s will be presenting their proposed Guest Street project before
the BAIA this Thursday night (March 4th) at the Elks Lodge # 2199, 326
Washington St., Brighton at 7 p.mI’m already double booked for the night, so give’m hell. Although I’m usually pro-empty-building-development I think Lowe’s is a poor choice for that location. That area of Market St is almost impassable on Saturday or Sunday via motor vehicle. A trip to Brighton Center from North Allston would require a helicopter if this gets approved.
The New Balance plan sounds much better if they can get buy in from the owners of the land. A collaspe of the Lowe’s deal - again - should hopefully speed up counter offers.
A local Lowe’s would be nice though. It just needs to be in a lot already served by a 4 lane road…
