Protesters mark route of planned West Roxbury pipeline


By Eric Smalley

A pair of protesters spray-painted a line along the route of the planned West Roxbury Lateral high-pressure natural gas pipeline last month. The proposed pipeline would pass through densely populated residential neighborhoods, including a stretch of heavily trafficked Washington Street, and terminate across the street from the active West Roxbury Quarry.
