The Department of Conservation and Recreation (DCR)'s mission is to protect, promote, and enhance our commonwealth of natural, cultural, and recreation resources for the well-being of all. In line with this mission, this project's purpose is to identify and evaluate alternative routes for greater community connections, resulting in a preferred shared use path alignment with connections to the Neponset River Greenway at Truman Parkway and the Blue Hills Trailside Museum (See Figure 1 - Project Area. See Figures 2 through 10 for photos of the project area).
DCR defines the following as objectives for the shared use path:
- Enhanced community connectivity
- Improved access to recreation and healthy living for all
- Safety and convenience
- Preservation of natural resources
- Protection of historic and archeological areas
- Climate resiliency
- Straightforward implementation and maintenance
