Walking tour of future Community Path
On September 25, more than 50 people hiked along the future Green Line route where the Path will someday be. The tour was led by Friends of the Community Path, which (like STEP) is fighting for getting the Path designed and built. Currently, the State is planning only to design the Path from Lowell St. to Inner Belt. We believe it should be designed all the way to Lechmere and built along with the Green Line construction.
