- W309580587 abstract "BOSTON'S SOUTHWEST CORRIDOR: F r o Urban B a t t l e g r o u n d to Paths of Peace T h e most confounding thing about pedestrian corridor projects is thai we should have to establish them at all. There was a time in America when footpaths ran through towns and farms in partial disregard of property own- ership, very much like the English and Scottish common law footpaths. Our footpaths are derived from a second parentage as well: the Indian trails of common access thai American colonists adopted as their own. T h e common footpaths and trails would, by custom, remain accessible to the public so long as thcs were trod at least once every year. It was recognized, in our past, lhat public rights ii1'access and private rights to privacv were not irreconcilable. But that was eons ago. With the consolidation and fencing of propcrn under real estate law and the industrial- ization of American cities, idiosyncratic common ways were extinguished, except for the lew remnants that were pre- served under public title. Then, loo, there was the lack of foresight, chiefly in the nineteenth century, in not reserving path corridors within or along public corridor land as it was sold or granted to the railroads or retained and developed as highways. T h e demise of the common law footpath was very much present in m mind as ! In.-trail work on Uo.stons Southwest Corridor Project park master plan in the sprint;' of 1 ~~. The decade earlier I had traveled to I'.imland to studv river corridors and footpaths and to learn how people and cities were served In them. I he Southwest Corridor represented industrial blight and an overwhelming lack of access. Down its middle ran the old l'enn Central railroad — which ran atop a grim, soot-covered, trranite-faccd embankment for its greater length and along down-at-rhc-hccl industrial sprawl and menacing wastelands. Kver since its emergence more than a century a»o, this corridor had divided communities and sealed them off from access to the city's center. Could anything be done to redeem it?
