"The Kennedy family Monday pledged $1 million to the corridor of parks above the Big Dig, ensuring an additional $5 million from the Massachusetts Turnpike Authority for the "greenway" where the old elevated Central Artery once cast its shadow... The greenway is designed to be a series of parks and cultural spots running between Causeway and Kneeland streets."
