The <a href=\"http:\/\/walkuproslindale.org\/gateway\">Gateway Path<\/a> is WalkUP&#8217;s signature initiative, supported by a broad coalition of like-minded organizations including <a href=\"http:\/\/www.rozziebikes.org\/\">Rozzie Bikes<\/a> and the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.livablestreets.info\/\">Livable Streets Alliance<\/a>. Ultimately, the path will create a new entrance to the Arboretum closer to Roslindale Village (right from the MBTA Commuter Rail station), allow entry to the park from Roslindale without having to surmount a big hill, provide improved access to the park along its route, and connect all the way up to the Forest Hills orange line station and Southwest Corridor Path.<\/p>\n<p>For this meeting, we were focused only on the first portion which will cross over MBTA land. Since this portion requires negotiating land rights (the Arboretum, the City, and the MBTA will be all be involved), we thought it important to complete the process of gathering community feedback on that section first so those negotiations can move forward. Hence, this meeting, which was attended by as many as 50 residents, business owners, city employees, and representatives of our elected officials. Notably represented at the meeting were District City Councilors <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mccarthy4boston.com\/\">Tim McCarthy<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.votemattomalley.com\/\">Matt O&#8217;Malley<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.jeffreysanchez.org\/\">State Rep. Jeffrey Sanchez<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.senatorrush.com\/\">State Sen. Michael Rush<\/a>. <a href=\"http:\/\/michelleforboston.com\/\">City-Councilor-at-Large Michelle Wu<\/a> has also been very supportive of the project.<\/p>\n<p>The presentation was lead by Jen Relstab of the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.horsleywitten.com\/\">Horsley Witten Group<\/a>, our design consultant from the start of this effort. Be sure to check out <a href=\"http:\/\/walkuproslindale.org\/pdf\/2018-07-23%20Roslindale%20Gateway%20Path%20Horsley%20Witten%2025%20Percent%20MBTA%20Presentation.pdf\">the complete presentation<\/a>. Following the slideshow, we received ample constructive feedback and questions from the group, ranging from questions about snow and ice; maintenance; policing; wildlife; storm water; trash; and ideas about various surfaces that might be used in different parts of the path. We&#8217;re incorporating this feedback and ideas into our next steps, and look forward to returning to the community as the project moves forward.
