Inventory of Resources The Inventory of Resources consisted of a detailed program of site visits, research of previously published documents, compilation of additional relevant data from archives and libraries, and consideration of public com- ments. The physical resources assessed by the inventory included topography, geology, soils, hydrology, and geomorphology. Biological resources included fish, terrestrial plants and animals, habitat types, invasive species, rare or endangered species of special concern, and ecosystem functions. Finally, cultural and socioeconomic resources included historical sites, open space recreation areas, existing land uses, contaminated sites, utilities, transporta- tion linkages, and residential areas. Section 2A provides a more detailed discussion of current site conditions as documented in the Inventory of Resources. The inventory also includes a series of com- prehensive maps identifying those locations in the Alewife Reservation and Alewife Brook corridor that are particularly significant. C2. Opportunities and Options In the Opportunities and Options phase, the planning team prepared two conceptual plans for the Alewife Reservation and the Alewife Brook Greenway. These designs were guided by the Master Plan goals and objectives and were based on information from the Inventory of Resources as well as comments from previous public meetings. The two alternatives differed in their relative emphasis on cultural and eco- logical concerns. Public meetings held during this phase generated additional responses that led finally to the development of a preferred alternative. C3. Preferred Alternative The preferred alternative synthesizes elements from the earlier conceptual plans that were deemed by the public, MDC administrators, and planning team as the most desirable and achievable options for implementation. This preferred alternative was then pres
