Future Boston Greenway Named for Rose Kennedy
Sen. Edward M. Kennedy (D-Mass.), who fought in Congress for the money to put Boston’s noisy elevated Central Artery underground and replace it with 30 acres of open space, dedicated the future greenway to his mother.
The Rose Fitzgerald Kennedy Greenway will stretch from Boston’s historic North End, where the senator’s late mother was born, through Chinatown and the financial district with a year-round garden and cultural center in the wharf district.
“There couldn’t have been a memorial to my mother that meant more to her,” Kennedy told about 100 family friends, relatives, politicians and North End residents.
