Excerpt from Report on Improvement of the Upper Mystic River and Alewife Brook: By Means of Tide Gates and Large Drainage ChannelsThe report of the preliminary Metropolitan Park Commission to the Legislature of 1893 suggested, through the accompany ing report and plan of Charles Eliot, its Landscape Architect, a river road and parkway drive from Winchester along Aberjona River and Mystic Lake and Mystic River to and across the marshes of Malden River, and through a portion of the cities of Everett and Chelsea across Snake Creek and Revere marshes to Revere Beach. Since then the permanent Board of Metropolitan Park Commissioners has been from year to year gradually acquiring land for such river road and parkway, and extending the con struction as funds became available.Revere Beach Parkway is substantially completed to Fellsway, in the part of Medford known as Wellington. From that point to High Street in Medford, at the foot of Lower Mystic Lake, necessary land for construction of the river road has been ao quired, and from High Street a road has been constructed through a park-like reservation along Mystic Lake and Aber jona River to Winchester, where a short piece of parkway connects with the westerly side of Middlesex Fells. The land along Mystic River was acquired Nov. 29, 1899, under a joint agreement by which the city of Medford acquired the land from Middlesex Fells Parkway to a point near Cradock Bridge, upon the understanding that the Metropolitan Park Commission would in due time construct the roadway thereon, and would also acquire the land and build the roadway from Cradock Bridge to Mystic Lake.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
