Just so you know, at our meeting with the Health Officer and storm water managemer in Cambridge 15 years ago or so at Cam outlet 3, I believe where car exit from Rt. 2 comes in to the T stop at the Little River bridge (edge of Cambridge and Arlington), they agreed to put up signs because the then health officer long held by Sam Lipson, REHS, Senior Director of Environmental Health committed to place safety signs along the Little River and Alewife Brook (there is one now
(very old) at the curve as the Rt.2 exit ramp curves to come into the station area. This was never done. Sam is still in charge: slipson@cambridgepublichealth.org
617-665-3838 Nice easy person to speak with. Hope they remember. Charles River puts up flags along the river when there is a CSO overflow. We should do the same. Thanks for reminding us. Ellen Mass,
