Trailer at the Ceder Street end of Bike Path

Anyone know what the trailer is for at the Ceder Street end of the Bike Path? It seems to have popped up recently. Sort of odd that a construction trailer would be on public property like that.

Could it be preparation for the extension of the path to Lowell Street?

That was my guess.

That is right.

I posted this posting on the Friends of the Community Path facebook page: http://www.facebook.com/FriendsoftheCommunityPath

They posted this response:
"
This Cedar-to-Lowell CPX section will be built from roughly this May through September, Hooray! More soon when we have the details.

A staffer at the City of Somerville says :"Yes, that is a MDR's construction trailer. We are on our way to the first extension of the community path in 19 years!"

Official groundbreaking is next Monday, May 13 at 6 pm. Probably right in front of that trailer.

Any chance they resurface the Willow/Cedar section?

Particularly just eastish of Willow, the path is poorly leveled, collects water, and seems to have taken a beating over the past winter.

I'd suggest a quick call to 311 to tell them just that. While I know a lot of Somerville's finest cruise this forum, giving them the feedback to document is most likely the best way to get results!

Or the upcoming resistat meetings.
