MassLive: “‘It’s going to be a legacy project;’ South Boston community wrestles with vision for historic Northern Avenue Bridge”

But among various neighborhood groups like the Wharf District Council, Walk Boston, The Fort Point Neighborhood Association and six others, consensus on at least one element of the bridge is clear: no cars.

“People danced on the bridge, people had their photographs taken on the bridge…People remembered that bridge,” Anita Johnson, a member of Walk Boston, said to applause at the community meeting.

“I ask you to consider keeping that bridge a pedestrian bridge,” Johnson added. “Those are the uses that make people happy, and that’s important to us.”
