Yup, there’s a little canal over there. It even shows up on the map. Years ago, when things were still in the planning stage, at least one visionary suggested the canal be rehabbed and turned into a cool water feature. That didn’t happen, but planners still had to deal with the canal where it joined the river, and last week a foot bridge was craned into place. This update comes from the Jewelry District Association:
Thanks to Wexford, the foot bridge was craned into place last week. When the walkways are finished (sometime in June) you’ll be able to promenade in style along the river from Waterplace Park to Point Street.
The Jewelry District Association had other news about Jewelry District happenings, including their monthly meeting next Tuesday.
Brown’s working on a big new Life Sciences complex. The State Lab breaks ground in March. Pebb Capital has proposed a 12-story apartment stretching between Friendship & Pine Streets and is also looking at the future of 33 Bassett Street.
(The area is currently fenced off, although it looks like someone has already set up camp in there. In this picture, the river is to my back and the Point Street Bridge is to my left.)
