Karen Martin, the authority’s project manager, told the board the final phase of Northfield Point improvements will begin July 13 with a pre-construction meeting July 14 at 10:00 a.m. She said the work will add an aggregate walkway through the spit and around the perimeter, solar bollards along paths, landscaping, and seating using repurposed Fall River granite, with an open grassy area intended as an outdoor classroom.
