The new North Bank Bridge connects Paul Revere Park to Cambridge’s North Point Park. It is a magnificent bridge and is the first of many bridges that will connect us and Cambridge to the medical area on Nashua Street, Memorial Drive, and the Esplanade.
The “Candy Cane Light” Path from Rutherford to the North Bank Bridge is a wonderful gateway path to this area for those who live west of City Square Park in Charlestown. But the Path and nearby Rutherford sidewalk are a mess! The Friends of City Square Park and the Rutherford Corridor Improvement Coalition (RCIC) are sponsoring, in partnership with Mayor Menino and the Department of Conservation & Recreation (DCR) a clean up of both areas on Saturday, August 11th from 9:00 AM to noon.
