Work began this week on the final two-mile section of the project: from Western Avenue in Lynn to Nahant Beach. The state Department of Transportation (MassDOT) held a groundbreaking ceremony yesterday (Thursday, July 11) to build the two-mile, twoway, separated bike lane. The Northern Strand Community Trail now runs from Everett, through Malden, Revere and Saugus, and it ends at Western Avenue about one mile west of downtown Lynn. The plans include extending that trail with curb-separated, on-street bike lanes and sidewalk improvements through downtown Lynn to state-owned parkland at Nahant Beach. This project is expected to provide safer and improved transportation access for bicyclists and pedestrians. Bike to the Sea is also working with offi cials in Revere to extend the trail from Linden Square in Malden to Revere Beach alongside the roadway there. Bike to the Sea has been working since 1993 to create the Northern Strand Community Trail: a trail free of cars from Everett, Mass., to the beaches in Lynn and Nahant. That dream has now been realized and the trail is being utilized as a commute and recreation corridor through Everett, Malden, Revere, Saugus and Lynn.

According to Smith and Maloney, in the more distant past, the area was a residential area of three-deckers called The Line, possibly referring to an MBTA subway line station at the corner of Beacham and Lower Broadway dating back to 1919 or the fact that it’s on the Boston city line. The current proposal is rectangular with an end-to-end walking time of 10-15 minutes, but the size and scope are subject to change in the site review process. It will not be operational until at least 2028 and possibly later than that. Among other things, a Host Agreement will have to be worked out. Literature distributed by Jupiter cites its $500 million-plus investment in the project, annual tax revenue for the City, jobs during remediation and construction, the facility’s compatibility with the area, and a design for it to blend into its surroundings. Artist renderings in the open house portrayed a grayish building surrounded by trees. A bike path for the area is also in the plans. There was no formal lecture-style presentation on the project. Instead, representatives from Jupiter took small groups on a walking tour of the Connolly Center fl oor fi lled with large English and Spanish printouts of a PowerPoint presentation. Information was also available in other languages and translators were present. About 35 people attended the Tuesday open house. Many were optimistic, but cautious about the project. “It’ll clean up the area, create jobs and provide tax revenue, but we’re still learning about this,” Smith said. “The area needs rehabilitation, but we’ll need details,” Maloney feels. She referred to the previous structures as Esso gas tanks because Exxon was once known as Esso, a phonetic abbreviation of Standard Oil. Everett Bank President Richard O’Neil, who’s attorney-brother David O’Neil is an attorney representing Jupiter, found the project interesting. “This is a good idea,” said former Ward 6 Councillor Al Lattanzi. “It’ll provide clean energy; I like that.” Ward 1 Councillor Wayne Matewsky attended the Wednesday open house, although he was already familiar with the proposal. “I’m still learning about this, but it might be a good fi t for the area,” he said. “I’m glad Jupiter is making an eff ort to show what this is all about.” The longtime city councillor said the proposed use would create less traffi c than housing. The City has no offi cial position on the proposal. Director of Planning and Community Development Matt Lattanzi, who is also familiar with the project, called the idea a “viable use, but it’s for 20 acres out of over 96 acres of an area that will be subject to a Master Plan. We’re excited to see a new use for the land fi ltered through a Master Plan.” “I need to digest this,” provisional Fire Chief Joe Hickey reacted. “Due to the demands of everyday life, there are concerns about power. A system like this can be benefi cial because there is a need for this at peak use times, but there would be concerns about access and hazards. Different types of structures require different types of access and a fi re there would be diff erent than a regular fi re.” Jupiter is calling the planned site the Trimount Energy Storage Facility.
