The Massachusetts Department of Transportation has launched a program it calls Infra-Space to identify areas under elevated roads, bridges or viaducts for possible redevelopment opportunities.
The program follows the ongoing development of a parking facility, multi-modal path, and adjustable ornamental light displays under a large elevated portion of the Interstate 93 Southeast Expressway in Boston, MassDOT said in a statement.
MassDOT has distributed a request for information to municipalities, businesses, nonprofit institutions, property owners, developers and community and arts organizations seeking nominations and redevelopment project proposals for locations across the commonwealth where elevated roadways, bridges, viaducts and other transportation infrastructure are a barrier to neighborhoods.
Forms proposing public-private partnerships are due by Sept. 17. The RFI is available on the web at:
