Honoring Senator Kennedy: People who wish to honor Senator Kennedy are urged to line the motorcade route at the Rose Fitzgerald Kennedy Greenway, City Hall Plaza and the Boston Common

From Jim Moore's blog, Thursday, August 27, 2009 -
Three minutes ago I recieved the following:

People who wish to honor Senator Kennedy are urged to line the motorcade route at the Rose Fitzgerald Kennedy Greenway, City Hall Plaza and the Boston Common, in front of the Statehouse on Park Street. BRING SIGNS IF YOU HAVE THEM. I’m sure that it would be appreciated if there is a good crowd on the motorcade route. Please forward this message.

At 1:00 PM on Thursday, Senator Kennedy and his family will depart Hyannis Port by motorcade en route to Boston. Arrival time in Boston is expected to be about 3 PM. Senator Kennedy will travel Route 3 North to Route 93 North into Boston. Senator Kennedy will exit at Government Center, and travel down Hanover Street into the North End, past St. Stephen’s Church, where his mother Rose was baptized and her funeral mass celebrated. Continuing down Hanover and crossing over the Rose Fitzgerald Kennedy Greenway, the park Senator Kennedy joined community leaders in creating that gives mothers and their children green space in the heart of the city. The park sits on the same land young Rose Fitzgerald enjoyed as a child. Senator Kennedy will pass Faneuil Hall where Mayor Menino will ring the bell 47 times. Continuing to Bowdoin Street, Senator Kennedy will pass 122 Bowdoin, where he opened his first office as an Assistant District Attorney and President Kennedy lived while running for Congress in 1946. He’ll pass the JFK Federal Building where his Boston office has stood for decades, and then travel to Dorchester Street into South Boston and to the JFK Presidential Library.
ARRIVAL AT JOHN F. KENNEDY LIBRARY AND MUSEUM
Approximately 4 p.m. The motorcade will arrive at the JFK Library.

THURSDAY 6 PM to 11 PM (or longer if needed) Body will lie in repose at the JFK Library.
FRIDAY 8 AM to 3 PM Body will lie in repose at the JFK Library.
