The project is slated to start in early April and completed in June.
Improvements include: replacing Ballard lighting, replacing LD lighting on the Freedom Trail, restoration of the finish on metal railings, refurbishing of the Pedola support posts, repair Parcel 8 fountain leak and replace 21 benches, 8, of which will be swinging benches.
           MassDOT has turned over an additional six parcels to the Conservancy, according to Brackenbury. He told residents that currently there are no potential plans for them at this time but if anything develops the Conservancy will contact and meet with the community.
