Kerasiotes to develop air rights over the Massachusetts Turnpike - and Pland near the Allston-Brighton tolls, as well - should draw the cautious and steady attention of area residents. Strong arguments have ~n advanced for some of this c'evelop ment. In some cases, such as Chinatown, it could heal communities that have been sliced in two for decades. Imagine that kind of devel opment here, uniting Allston again into one coherent, complete neighborhood. It also adds the possibility for development in some of Boston's most cramped-and desirable - neighborhoods. Against that, strong worries have already been raised by residents. Because the air rights belong to the Pike, it is not clear that these proposed developments be controlled by current zoning rules. And it has been noted that the extra expense of buildini in the air means the buildings would tend to be big and tall. The idea of a thin slice of Manhattan-style steel and stone high rise buildings - an urban Mohawk - built on a winding course through the city sounds like no great benefit to anyone except per haps the investors. Would neighborhood groups have a role to play in such develop ment? Would nearby zoning roles apply - or would the Pike end up zoned as one mega-development zone, a kind of economic ger rymandering? No one will start building anytime soon, but we should all start to prepare for the day this idea comes to fruition. Let's put that medlliD SPt: /\K - ()l IT! strip to good use.
