Bill > H3275

This bill requires the Department of Conservation and Recreation (DCR), a state agency responsible for parks and recreation, to regularly review and maintain the Neponset River in Boston to protect public health and safety. Specifically, the DCR must assign two park rangers to its Mattapan Square headquarters from March through October each year, equipping them with necessary tools like boats, canoes, phones, radios, and other gear to remove fallen trees or shrubs that obstruct safe passage along the river or its adjacent walkways for the public, including those who walk, canoe, or kayak.
