“Walkers
will love this footbridge. It is located at the right spot, and provides a safer park
entry that crossing the tracks at grade.” Dorothea
Haas, Director, WalkBoston.
“The Carlton Street Footbridge typifies the convenience of urban life, the pleasure
of walking in a human-scale, interesting, eclectic, and refreshing environment.”
Jane Holtz Kay, architectural
writer, author, Lost Boston.
“The
notion that restoring the bridge will adversely affect the neighborhood’s security
doesn’t make sense. In fact, more people using the park will increase neighborhood
security, not reduce it”. Honorary
Chair Michael Dukakis.
"Clearly, the Carlton Street entrance to the Muddy River park in its present
condition is a crucial 'missing link' in the Emerald Necklace, a feature that Olmsted
carefully designed to provide both convenient access and landscape amenity for many
potential users of his park." Charles

Washington, DC, September 25, 2001
“We
consider the bridge an important neighborhood amenity”. Former MDC
Commissioner John Sears, for Christ’s Church Longwood.
