A long-awaited missing link to the 10.5-mile-long Neponset River Greenway trail was discussed during a May 26 online hearing hosted by the state’s Department of Transportation.
The current preferred alternative for the connection between Morrissey Boulevard and Tenean Beach which amounts to roughly 3,600 feet of trail, or roughly 0.7 miles would improve pedestrian and bike connections.
It includes a 670-foot boardwalk through the National Grid “rainbow” gas tank site with “bump-out” scenic overlooks offering views of Dorchester Bay and the Boston Harbor islands.
To the Editor:
I am writing this letter to encourage Dorchester residents to strongly oppose the request by Bay Colony Associates, Boston Bowl, for two digital billboards on a winged monopole at 820 Morrissey Blvd. The location is next to Interstate 93, directly across from the Neponset River Area of Critical Environmental Concern and highly visible from Tenean Beach, Victory Road Park, Squantum Point Park, the Neponset Greenway, the Dorchester Harborwalk, and large parts of Port Norfolk and Neponset.
I urge my fellow Dorchester residents to oppose it as well. Digital billboards are ugly, visual blight. It is environmentally and socially unjust to allow them to be built in Dorchester.
