The 6th Street Walkway, also known as Officer William Loughrey Walkway and the Kitty Knox Bike Path is open to the public after undergoing renovations in 2018. The heavily used path is an open space that connects East Cambridge and Kendall Square and provides seating and shade to visitors, employees and residents.

The 800-foot-long open space and walking path was renovated by Boston Properties as part of the district’s Infill Development Concept Plan, and includes a new separated bicycle path dedicated to Cambridge resident and cycling legend Kitty Knox, a refurbished walkway, and new furniture and signage.
