Mobile devices get charge from Greenway

The Rose Kennedy Greenway has become a little more tech friendly with the addition of three solar-powered charging stations for mobile devices.

The stations — at Dewey Square, the carousel and Rose Wharf Plaza — have six charging ports and a hearty battery big enough to charge phones through the night. Three of the ports have micro USB cables, but those looking to charge an iPhone will need to bring their own cord.

"We are trying to offer a variety of things that may be of interest to folks," said Charlie McCabe, the Greenway Conservancy's director of public programs. "We try to make it a nice place for people to come and enjoy."

The stations, built by Utah-based Goal Zero, are being loaned to the Greenway by Life is Good, which has used similar Goal Zero stations at its Life is Good Festival in Canton.

The stations charge at roughly the same speed as a wall outlet, said Chris Abbruzzese, a spokesman for Goal Zero.

The charging stations will be in place until November, and McCabe said the conservancy is exploring additional high-tech amenities.

"There's always folks coming out that have a new idea," he said. "That's one of the benefits of being in the city and the area, to take advantage of all the innovation that's going on."
