Quincy Neponset river walk hits milestone

The only remaining unknown is the funding. Finding the money is one element of a river walk saga that began when a 280-apartment complex was proposed for 2 Hancock St. in 1999. As a condition of building the complex, the developer agreed in 2005 to include such amenities as the river walk, a canoe and kayak launch, benches, lighting, and a salt marsh restoration. These features, however, have been held up by conflicts over such things as easements, environmental issues, and funding. Councilor at Large, Doug Gutro and his son Brian, 9, walk with Neponset River Watershed Association spokesman, Steve Pearlman along the walkway at Boston Scientific.
