I just recieved this message from somervillestep.org it is about extension of the Community Path from Cedar to Central Street, and the city's possible acquisition of land on Central Street that is now used as a parking lot for Cambridge Health Alliance. The parking lot would be reduced and reconfigured, and the remainder of the land cleared and landscaped.

At 6:30 PM at the VNA Assisted Living faculty on Lowell Street, this is
described as a "neighborhood meeting to discuss the latest
developments".

Also see the article on the front page of the Somerville Journal today,
or
read it online:

Could you please edit your post to explain more clearly what this is about?

Specifically, it is about extension of the Community Path from Cedar to Central Street, and the city's possible acquisition of land on Central Street that is now used as a parking lot for Cambridge Health Alliance. The parking lot would be reduced and reconfigured, and the remainder of the land cleared and landscaped.

What is the proposed route?

If I had to guess, the path would be extended into the plot immediately northeast of Alpine Street where the abandoned rail is....and cross Lowell Street south of the MBTA rail line, and come out on Central across from the Verizon building? Otherwise, you're dealing with a lot of inclines.

But the Green Line proposal, last I heard, would run along Broadway.

You might want to point out that the meeting at the VNA is next Tuesday, the 22nd. I'll try and be there since I'm only a block or so away...

Yes, please put the date back into the message. It was in there originally, but you took it out for some reason.

Also, please give the post a descriptive Subject line.
