The Muddy River Restoration Project oversight continues. The MMOC’s attention is on water levels and quality, historic bridge restoration, habitat resilience, and landscaping work throughout Olmsted Park, the Riverway, and Back Bay Fens. At the Justine Mee Liff Park across from the Landmark Center, the focus is on maintaining the newly restored landscape and honoring Olmsted’s original vision for a continuous, meandering Muddy River.
