"will make every effort to temporarily reopen the path once the base layer of pavement has been installed."
"negatively impact the public by delaying the installation of vital safety improvements and amenities."
"The goal of the project is to renovate this well-loved park and create a cohesive open space that provides increased access for the community and improved opportunities for passive recreation and leisure, play, enjoyment of the landscape, and a welcoming path for people to walk and bike,"
Middlesex Superior Court Justice Sarah Weyland Ellis declined to issue a preliminary injunction and temporary restraining order, allowing the redesign and construction of Linear Park to proceed. Linear Park is a half-mile green corridor connecting the MBTA Alewife station and the Somerville border and is zoned as Open Space. The ruling noted that halting the project would negatively impact the public by delaying installation of vital safety improvements and amenities. Planned work includes widening the path, replacing old light poles, planting more than 100 new healthy trees, and other upgrades. Construction will begin after the city confirms an updated schedule with the contractor and efforts will be made to temporarily reopen the path once the base pavement layer is installed.
