Charles River: Update on doomed Magazine Beach Recreation Area, Little Guys’ Parking Lot.

Charles River:  Update on doomed Magazine Beach Recreation Area, Little Guys’ Parking Lot.

Several days ago, we reported on decidedly threatening activity in a core part of the Magazine Beach park.

My Report on April 18, 2018:

The big earth mover is quite scary in the parking lot.

But the area which is now disrupted is rumpled dirt which looks like it is replacing the former spray.

Phil Barber replied, Same day.

I went to MB this afternoon and saw they had put in a handicap access ramp (it appears) leading from the parking area up to the old magazine. The work looks incomplete, more asphalt has to be laid down to even it out. Does seem like excessively large equipment for the size of the project. The "No Parking" signs are all gone.

Haven't seen the young hawk again. Maybe he was just passing through. There were lots of robins there this afternoon, a fine sign of spring.

Here is Phil’s photo of the BIG machines from April 11



And my photo, from April 13, of the handicapped ramp and one of the very bizarre signs.  The nicest thing that I can say about this NO PARKING sign is that it reaffirms my very strong impression of lack of professionalism of this vile organization.

Note the total absence of a date involved.


I will follow with a very detailed update on the situation on the Magazine Beach Recreation Area of the Charles River, including a lot of photographs, and casting deserved blame.
