Tonight’s Roslindale Gateway Path Visioning session<\/a> was a smashing success. The turnout was extraordinary, filling the large double-room meeting space in the Roslindale Community Center just about to capacity. In addition to many people who live, work, and play in\u00a0Roslindale and adjacent neighborhoods (including notably JP and West Roxbury), several city councilors, state legislators, and state agencies (including the MBTA and MassDOT) sent representatives who actively participated in the event. The meeting reflected tremendous energy and enthusiasm for the project, and sparked many new ideas and concepts that we and our collaborators at Tufts<\/a> and the Livable Streets Alliance<\/a> will be synthesizing over the coming weeks.<\/p>\n

In case you weren’t able to make it, here is the presentation that kicked off the event<\/a>, but most of the 90 minute meeting was spent gathering community input in small groups. Stay tuned for more news at our path page<\/a>\u00a0and send any additional comments to path@walkuproslindale.org<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In the meantime, a snapshot from the beginning of the meeting, as people were still streaming in:<\/p>\n

And now that we’ve had the world premier at tonight’s session, a special feature: drone footage of the first segment of the proposed route, starting at the Roslindale Village Commuter Rail station. Thanks to Larry McInnes for shooting, directing, and cinematography, and Alan Wright for starring in this motion picture:
