NEPONSET RIVER GREENWAY INTERPRETIVE SIGNAGE

The Harvest River Bridge is a traditional tied cable arch bridge spanning 180 feet across the Neponset River. The bridge is the second of its kind in Massachusetts, alongside the Blue Heron Bridge in Newton, MA. When it was constructed, it required two cranes to lift the basket handle structure into place.

BASKET HANDLE ARCH & HANGERS

BRIDGE DECK & RAILING

BASE STRUCTURE Constructed in 2017, the bridge is composed of several components – a basket handle arch, ipe wood bridge deck and railing, and the base supporting structure, which rests on the banks of the Neponset river. The arches are pinned to foundations on either side of the bridge, which provide horizontal resistance to the thrust arches. The horizontal and vertical forces are resolved at the arches as illustrated below.

The Department of Conservation (DCR) has completed several restoration projects along the Neponset River corridor. Senator Joseph Finnegan Park was transformed from an industrial site and the former home of the Shaffer Paper Factory to a neighborhood park that features new sea walls, soft shorelines, restored wetlands, walking trails, new trees, and open fields. At Pope John Paul II Park Reservation, formerly a landfill, a brownfield cap was installed to contain contaminated soils, topography was shaped to provide access to families and residents, and urban meadow planting was installed. As part of the Neponset Trail Greenway project, the meadow at Mattapan was restored…

The Neponset River stretches over 30 miles and is bordered on either side by a layered community of hydrophyllic vegetation that serves several purposes. The trees and plants protect the aquatic environments from excessive sedimentation, filter polluted surface runoff, and guard against erosion of the riverbank. These trees and shrubs are particularly well-suited for moist soil and the thick grasses, thickets of shrubs and various tree species provide ecological habitats for birds and other wildlife.The Neponset Trail Greenway project took special measures to protect and enhance the river’s edge with planting.

There are over ten species of birds that inhabit the Neponset River watershed. Some, like the blue heron and snowy egret occupy the r i v e r ’s e d g e w h i l e o t h e r s live fur ther from the river. Many of these species, migrate south for the winter and return to Massachusetts in l a t e s p r i n g . T h e r i v e r ’s e d g e provides a unique habitat where they can build nests in raised locations amidst tree branches and they can wade or dive into the water to find fish, frogs and crustaceans and insects to eat.

There are over ten species of birds that inhabit the Neponset River watershed. Some, like the blue heron and snowy egret occupy the river’s edge while others live further from the river. Many of these species, migrate south for the winter and return to Massachusetts in late spring. The river’s edge provides a unique habitat where they can build nests in raised locations amidst tree branches and they can wade or dive into the water to find fish, frogs and crustaceans and insects to eat.

The wildlife within the Neponset river corridor range in scale from the dragonfly, measuring just a few inches long to the river otter that stands approximately three feet tall. The species noted here are part of a layered network of living organisms that play an essential role in the riparian ecosystem. The river otter meanders along the river’s edge and swim in the river. Ducks waddle along the river’s edge and float with the current searching for insects and fish. Dragonflies, butterflies and bees whiz through the air and land on wildflowers and other plants to pollinate or rest. The surface of the riverbed is home to species like the fresh water mussels. Alewife, blueback herring and bluegill, to name a few, swim in the river.

Traditionally moist, low-lying, level grasslands, native meadows were once used for animal grazing and played an important role in New England life. Their ecological importance holds constant today, with a rich composition of grasses and wildflowers. Successional plant communities are central to the life of a meadow, with annuals and perennials dominating the early years of establishment. The maintenance cycle of a meadow is closely aligned with the biological cycle of the pollinators and other organisms that inhabit it, allowing butterflies to complete important life stages and accommodate ground nesting birds that breed in the spring.

The Neponset River headwaters are at the Neponset Reservoir in Foxborough, near Gillette Stadium. The river meanders for about 30 miles, pouring into Dorchester Bay between Quincy and Dorchester. Emergent and submergent zones at the river’s edge provide protection against erosion and create habitats for fish and other freshwater species. The submergent zone is composed of plants that are mostly submerged under water while emergent plants experience more of a gradient of wetness.

NATICK 2030+ COMPREHENSIVE MASTERPLAN NATICK, MA

CSS led the multi-disciplinary team that prepared the Natick 2030+ Comprehensive Plan. The public process and resulting report defined a community-wide shared vision for Natick’s future development and a framework for how to get there. Natick 2030+ will guide policy makers in making land use, housing, open space, transportation, economic development, sustainability and public facilities

decisions for the Town over the next twenty years to achieve the Town’s vision. The Project included an extensive public outreach component incorporating a project website; an interactive on-line platform; online surveys; communitywide, stakeholder and smaller focus group meetings; and social media. emily milliman, RLA, ASLA, LEED GA
