Discover a little-known part of Boston on a walk along the “Lost Half-Mile”/New Charles River Basin of the Charles River, between the Charles River Dam Bridge and the North Washington Street Bridge. Boston University City Planning Professor Jim O’Connell will lead the tour, which will explore the booming Cambridge Crossing/North Point development area, which is a high tech extension of Kendall Square. The route will include the handsomely landscaped North Point Park, the 1910 Charles River Dam, the underside of the Zakim Bridge, Charlestown’s Paul Revere Park (where Revere began his 1775 “midnight ride”), and the 1978 Charles River Dam. This is one of the most complicated and least appreciated open space reclamation projects in Greater Boston. Meet at the CVS at the corner of Causeway & Canal St., opposite TD Garden.
