Blessing of the Bay Shore Drive Greenway virtual meeting

On May 5, 2026, in Latest News, by The Somerville Times

The Shore Drive Greenway project will create a 12-foot-wide shared-use path through Blessing of the Bay Park along the Mystic River, improving waterfront access and connections to transit, jobs, and community resources.

The project features multiple ecological enhancements to advance climate resiliency: 85 new shade trees, 1,520 sq. ft. of native plantings, and underground green stormwater infrastructure.

Join the City and Mystic River Watershed Association for a virtual community meeting on Thursday, May 7, from 6 to 7 p.m. to learn about construction plans. More info at: voice.somervillema.gov/shore-drive-greenway
