I got a photo of it just this weekend, for those who haven't seen it in situ yet. There's quite a nice view from the top of the garage next to the AMC theater, for anyone interested. I'm told it may have nice fireworks viewing....

yes, I know. but the walking directions take me to Memorial and Mystic, and until I live in the neighbourhood, I'm not going to make assumptions about how people who already live in public housing will feel about me shortcutting through their property. I wouldn't do it to a private house, I won't assume to do it to them until I know it's acceptable.

It's actually not short-cutting. It's a legitimate walking path. I don't live in the area, so I've only walked it a few times, but there are signs designating the path.
