A map of the Alewife/Danehy Park area of Cambridge highlighting new off-street bike and pedestrian trail projects in the works. One dotted line represents a path along the north side of the MBTA Fitchburg Line, linking Alewife Stn. in the NW (upper left) to Sherman St. in the east (lower right) alongside several labelled apartment towers, including the Jefferson Park public housing. A second green dashed line represents a new path that would connect Danehy Park to New Street and Concord Avenue (at the bottom edge of the map). Solid green lines near the upper half of the map indicate existing paths in the Minuteman Bikeway and Mass. Central Rail Trail networks.

A cellphone snapshot of a crash scene where a Boston Police cruiser is on a sidewalk, with the wreckage of a traffic light underneath it. In front of the cruiser, near the left edge of the photo, a white man in a police uniform talks on a cellphone. Several pedestrians are walking around the crash site by walking in the street in the foreground. Behind the crashed car is a iron fence surrounding a graveyard where numerous people in coats are walking.
