History

In October 2013, after several months of planning, MassDOT announced that it had secured $3 million in funding for the trail as part of the Silver Line Gateway Extension project, then expected to be completed in 2015.[2] The Greenway opened in 2018 along with the busway, while $1.1 million in landscaping and planting of native species took place in 2019.[3]
