Mayor Menino Steps Into the Fray

Storrow Drive is once again in the news with the recent announcement by Mayor Menino that it is one of the areas in the city that they will study. He has called for a grand vision for the area - specifically the connection into the park from Beacon Street (the Fiedler footbridge) that is close to the Public Garden.

This is great news for those of us who have advocated for the project to be about more than just transportation. How the city engages the public and works with the state will be key - lots has been done and it is unclear if the city has come up with something new or just an iteration of one of the many schemes that were being discussed by the advisory group before their work was shelved.

Keep posted for next steps.
