Page 8 THE Reporter June 27, 2013 Editorial Greenway links Dot Ave. and Adams Street now in sight March 25, 1948 Gov. Deval Patrick has made our summer —before it even began officially. On June 11, the Patrick administration announced that it intends to fully fund the completion of the Neponset Greenway, a long deferred project that has been stymied — despite clear public support — due to the lack of a clear funding pipeline. “Investing in healthy, alternative modes of trans- portation will benefit residents today, and leave a lasting impact on the Neponset River Greenway Corridor for generations to come,” said Patrick in a statement that pledged to get the missing links completed over the next three years. The statement included a mention of new funding — totaling $1.9 million — in this year’s budget to finish design work on the project. The total cost of the Greenway extension will likely be between $11 and $14 million, officials say — and it will be paid for through the state’s Department of Transportation. The funding breakthrough came as a surprise even to long-time advocates of the Greenway, some of whom were girding themselves for another game of chance in seeking federal TIGER grant funds to complete the job. After two unsuccessful bites at the highly competitive federal grant apple, however, state officials were pessimistic about their chances. Patrick, a Milton resident who is himself an occasional Greenway walker, knows first-hand the impact that this amenity has had in Dorchester. He also is aware that his neighbors on both sides of the Neponset have labored for years now to come up with a compromise route through Mattapan and Milton that will allow for the path’s extension. That route will include a new bridge over the Neponset The City of Boston’s Archives posted this photograph on its website last week.
