Thursday, April 9, at 7:00 p.m., Charlotte and William Bloomberg
Medford Public Library, 111 High Street. (Register)

Learn about the Mystic River Plan from 2009, the larger Mystic River Greenway, the community-driven effort to initiate the project, and the design, permitting and construction process that led to what we see today. The Clippership Connector is a new, half-mile multi-use path in Medford, that connects Medford Square to Riverbend Park and the existing Mystic River Greenway system. It provides a safe and scenic off-street route for pedestrians and cyclists, linking over 10 miles of contiguous paths between the square, Anderew/McGlynn Schools, and the parks along the Mystic River. The project is a collaboration between the Department of Conservation and Recreation (DCR) and the City of Medford.
