From: Bryce Nesbitt
These are the bridges that make the final link to Boston for for the future Somerville Community Path. If you attend the walk, please mention the Community path link!

WalkBoston, MassBike, the Charles River Conservancy, and the Charles River Watershed Association invite you to walk with us to see the connections that are needed to complete the pathway network of the new Charles River Basin.
WalkBoston will lead a walk to view the sites of the proposed bridges that would complete the network.
12 - 1 PM

Meet on Causeway Street in front of the North Station T
(map link here)
The long-planned and agreed upon vision for the area centers on pedestrian/bicycle paths on both sides of the Charles River, and a path bridging the river to connect the Cambridge and Esplanade path systems to the Boston Harborwalk and the Rose Kennedy Greenway.
These bridges are part of the CA/T mitigation agreements for the basin. WalkBoston, MassBike, the Charles River Conservancy, and the Charles River Watershed Association have long supported the path plans as critical elements in the emerging regional path network. To create these connections, the plans specify three bridges along
and over the MBTA commuter rail lines.
The first bridge (now being designed) will cross the rail tracks to link Charlestown and Cambridge. The second bridge would cross over the rails on the Boston side behind North Station to connect the Esplanade to the Greenway and the Harborwalk. The third bridge would cross the river parallel to the rail lines, on the upstream side of the existing railroad bridge.
The last two bridges may fall prey to current CA/T budget priorities. If this happens, the path network will be incomplete. Without the second bridge, existing paths will dead-end at each side of the railroad tracks at the Spaulding Hospital on the west, and the Charles River Dam on the east. Without the third bridge, river
crossings for pedestrians and bicycles will be largely diverted to busy roadway bridges.
All three bridges deserve your support. Join us to help make sure that these critical pedestrian/bike connections get built.
