SCP planning meeting this Wednesday 

[From a recent posting to the Friends of the Community Path newsgroup.]

Somerville's Office of Strategic Planning and Community Development will host a neighborhood meeting about the engineering study to extend the Somerville Community Path at Cedar Street to the Lechmere area of Cambridge, through central and eastern Somerville.

Initial study findings and three potential path routes will be discussed.

The engineering study team seeks feedback to identify one preferred route.

Also, you may know that we have some wonderful Community Path news!
During the Spring of 2005:


  • The City of Somerville reached an agreement (not yet signed) with the MBTA for the Cedar to Central section of the Community Path, affirming the project will not interfere with Green Line extension plans.

  • A donation of $5500 from the Friends of the Community Path to the City of Somerville (through our non-profit fiscal sponsor, Groundwork Somerville) was key in expediting this agreement. The Friends' donation enabled the City to pay Guilford Rail, covering the cost of Guilford's filing fees for abandonment of the rail bed on that section.

  • Congressman Michael Capuano announced the passage of a one-million dollar transportation bill in the U.S. House, to pay for construction for the Cedar to Central section of the Path. While this bill has passed in the House, it awaits action in the Senate.
