The resident's idea, as submitted
The idea
Build the Dorchester Greenway, a linear park and path above the red line tunnel cap.
Who it helps and why
Outside of the Neponset Greenway, which is at the far edge of the city and difficult to get to because of Morrissey and I93, Dorchester has few off street paths. This would expand access to healthy outdoor space and safe walking/biking options.
