A primary challenge would be environmental. Many pressures are being put on the Mystic River Reservation. Station landing and the growth in the Wellington area of Medford have put tremendous pressures on sewer and utilities infrastructure in the area. I believe that the Medford square plan could be connected to the Mystic River Reservation by connecting the mystic river area of Medford square with the bike path of the Mystic River Reservation near the Mystic Valley Parkway, and running a bike lane up Governors Ave. north to the Middlesex Fells Reservation. This would give Medford a large natural bike way through the most beautiful areas of the nature of Medford. however Great care must be taken to preserve the conservation lands in our city and constant care to guard against over building and environmental pressures on these lands.
