I hope they'll install some lighting.  A small section of this path
has existed for some time, leading from Alewife station north to
some side streets in Arlington (which eventually take you to 
Lake Street).   After the sun goes down, this area becomes very dark,
and I always fear that I will run into a pedestrian (or another cyclist).

The Alewife-Davis bike path, built when the Red Line was extended
about seven years ago, is quite well lit.
