Somerville

What is happening?
The purpose of this meeting is to provide the public with the opportunity to become
fully acquainted with the proposed project. All views and comments made at the
meeting will be reviewed and considered to the maximum extent possible.

How will this affect you?
The proposed project consists of a new bicycle and pedestrian bridge crossing the
Mystic River and connecting the path networks on the Somerville and Everett sides of
the river.

The bridge will connect the DCR Draw Seven Park to the Gateway Park trail
and public boardwalk at the Encore Resort. The Mystic River Bicycle and Pedestrian Bridge will provide a vital missing link between the communities of Everett and Somerville, linking mixed use paths with local amenities including Draw Seven Park, Assembly Row and the Lower Broadway District.

The bridge will provide a reliable and safe crossing alternative for bicycle users and pedestrians who wish to utilize the
trail networks, access public transportation, and these communities.
