Sommerville Community Path, which opened in 1985, was extended from Davis to Cedar in 1994, then this one block extension was built by the city in 2015 to hook up with the Green Line Extension (GLX) bike path, which was to start construction in 2016 but was cancelled before the first shovel.

Turns out they couldn't just cancel, pesky laws and such, so GLX-the-reboot was to be built but without a bike path. Years of delays, the winning bid added back the bike path (yay!), sort of (boo).

Anyhow, someday a substandard path will link to North Point Park. But there will be a nice climb to a nice narrow bridge (currently built, just from nowhere to nowhere) with great views in the middle. At least there is commotion if not motion now.
