On Dec. 15, 2007 Cambridge Community Development Dept. presented its preliminary design for their improvements to this parcel. It looked pretty nice to me. Check out the plan and posters that they brought along in the photos. CDD has a web page about this site: http://www.cambridgema.gov/cdd/cp/parks/coslop/index.html

Well It's all done now and people will be planting their gardens soon. Some of my neighbors don't like it , but I do.

Did you know that maps from the 1840's and 1850's show the Broad Canal extending almost to Cardinal Medeiros Ave. then joining the North Canal and connecting to the Miller's River making East Cambridge an ISLAND?

Have you ever wondered why the area bounded by First St., Mrgr., O'Brien Highway and the river form a triangle? The answer is that the river was filled in a line to connect with the Prison Point Bridge, leaving the triangular outline. The canal was left unfilled and originally angled south following what is noe the main corridor of the Galleria Mall and Charles Park. Along the river the park created was called The Front.

OK, I know this marker is in Charlestown, but this recently built path does go into Cambridge along the Miller's River. I think will eventually connect to Paul Revere Park and the path across the new dam and locks into the Bulfinch triangle of Boaton.

The biggest development to hit Cambridge since the earthquake of 1755.

I thought it was in Charlestown until I looked closely.
