In the 1960s, the construction of I-90 separated Chinatown, resulting in a lack of safe and open green space and affordable housing. An effort to reconnect the neighborhood was just awarded an $1.8 million grant from the U.S. Department of Transportation
Boston's Chinatown neighborhood and the city of North Adams are getting federal grants designed for communities where opportunities have been diminished due to transportation infrastructure decisions.
The program was included in the federal infrastructure law and is designed to help communities overcome the negative impacts of highways and rail tracks. The first round of grants will fund construction and planning for efforts to cap interstates with parks, fill in sunken highways to reclaim the land for housing, convert transportation facilities into tree-lined streets, and create new crossings through public transportation, bridges, tunnels and trails.
