It will also upgrade the parking area, as it will be expanded and resurfaced while also providing accessible parking. In addition, the feds say there will be barrier-free transitions between the boat launch, the parking lot and other amenities offered in the area, including bike and canoe racks as well as trails.

“This will help revitalize a major trailhead and waterfront area that is extremely well-used by our residents,” Cambridge Mayor Jan Liggett stated.
