REAL ESTATE HISTORY:

The Southwest Corridor Park: In the 1950’s and 1960’s, plans were developed for a 12-lane highway between Boston and Rte. 128 (thru Hyde Park, JP, South End) and on into Cambridge/Somerville. In response to community protests, Governor Francis Sargent cancelled the plan in return for the current mix of below grade mass transit, open space and recreation. Construction started in 1979, after nine years of planning, which included over one thousand meetings with the community.
