WHEREAS: |
The Alewife Reservation is a great resource to the residents of the City of Cambridge; and |
WHEREAS: |
There is a Master Plan for the Reservation that has yet to be funded by the State; and |
WHEREAS: |
There are priorities that can be addressed before the plan is fully funded such as:
- Build a full canoe launch or observation area over the river for viewing and launching;
- Maintain the permanent trails and fields stipulated by the Alewife Master Plan;
- Keep the phragmites and knotweed cut in areas where the meadow swales have been dug and there is an open meadow;
- Maintain the newly planted vegetation twice a year with root conditioning;
- Open up the culvert over the pedestrian bridge that is blocking a stream to the Little River;
- Place doors on the Alewife Reservation kiosk behind the Alewife T stop and maintain the area around the kiosk by removing the knotweed; and
- Work closely with the Friends of Alewife Reservation so that work parties can apply, when needed, to the Conservation Commission to have these priorities taken care of; now therefore be it
|
ORDERED: |
That the City Manager be and hereby is requested to transmit these priorities to the appropriate City departments and the Department of Conservation and Recreation. |
