131	The Shining Sea Bikeway	The Shining Sea Bikeway runs for 10.7 miles from the Steamship Authority ferry terminal in Woods Hole to County Road in North Falmouth. Following the Old Colony rail line, it is the only bikeway on Cape Cod that runs alongside the sea, providing views across salt marshes, barrier beaches, and open water. And with almost 25% of the Bikeway abutting conservation land along at least one side, the Bikeway brings you close to a variety of wooded uplands, cedar swamps, and ponds. Wildlife abounds along the Bikeway, from the microscopic plankton in the sea to quahogs, bluefish, River Herring, eels, egrets, Great Blue Herons, Red-tailed Hawks, Osprey, turtles, Red Fox, muskrats, and deer. The Shining Sea Bikeway is the oldest rail trail in Massachusetts, the first in the United States to be assembled by eminent domain, and the legal struggle to create the trail led to the strongest state rail corridor protection legislation in the country.

395	Watertown Branch Rail Trail	This is a curb-separated, two direction bike lanes, and a sidewalk, leading into the Watertown-Cambridge Greenway.		paved
396	Upper Charles Trail Extension	The goal of this advocacy campaign is to extend the existing Upper Charles Trail (UCT) in Milford, Holliston, and Ashland the last two and a half miles through Sherborn to downtown Framingham. This could be accomplished in the short term with a rail-with-trail strategy to accommodate trains that occasionally use the tracks owned by CSX. In the long term it may be possible to purchase the entire corridor for walking, biking and conservation. The future design would likely make use of the paved Dudley Road Multi Use Path, and possibly the Sudbury Aqueduct Trail to make the connection.

411	BFRT Phase 3, Framingham Phase 2	The Framingham section of the trail has been divided into two parts. The remaining 2 miles, Phase 2, will continue from Frost Street to Pleasant Street (near Rte. 9). Phase 2 has the added complication of two bridges. The Grove Street bridge will be replaced, and the bridge over the Mass Pike may need to be raised to meet current clearance standards. These are some of the reasons MassDOT decided to break the construction of the trail in Framingham into two phases. Framingham has already requested that Phase 2 be considered by the MassDOT project review committee. The overall conceptual design for Framingham (Phase 1 and Phase 2), known as 10% design, has been completed.	Bruce Freeman Rail Trail	design	Friends of the BFRT, Spring/Summer 2025 Newsletter
412	Lasell Boathouse / Recreation Road Bridge	The reconstruction of this pedestrian bridge, expected in Spring/Summer 2025, will be immediately used for access to the hiking-only, Pony Truss Trail, Riverside Park, and Pigeon Hill Park. However, options to connect it to the Newton Commonwealth Avenue Carriageway via bike boulevards or quiet streets to extend the north/south river connection are under investigation. The future Riverside Greenway vision is envisioned as having a multi-use portion, including the bridge, reaching into the Wellesley trails system.

Future: In addition to adding 2 miles to the Mass Central Rail Trail, the East Quabbin Land Trust, in partnership with Mass Audubon and the Massachusetts Department of Fish and Game, preserved over 100 acres of the former Tanner-Hiller Airport for a grassland bird habitat and wildlife management area in New Braintree & Barre, which otherwise could have been purchased for development. The land protection also enables the Wheelwright Pond Dam removal project to proceed. Dam removal will allow the Ware River to run free through Hardwick and New Braintree. Doing so will enhance numerous rare mussel populations that occur where the tributary meets the Ware River, as well as improvements to recreational paddling and the MCRT.

In July 2025, a U.S. District Court Judge ruled in favor of the Committee, halting construction of the Interstate 93 Exit 4A project. He directed state and federal highway officials to either reach a compromise or provide empirical evidence that their alternative matches or exceeds the original design’s uninterrupted trail under the new highway.

Weeks, a longtime U.S. Representative and later U.S. Senator from Massachusetts, and the U.S. Secretary of War in the Harding and Coolidge administrations. On September 21, 2015, the Massachusetts Department of Conservation and Recreation held a ribbon cutting to mark completion of a $3 million renovation that made the Weeks bridge handicap accessible in compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act. Stairs at either end were replaced with ramps and accessibility-compliant railings were installed on the bridge.

625	Clark Street Bridge	The Clark Street Bridge, built in 1908 by the Boston and Maine Railroad, is a 6 foot wide pedestrian bridge over the MBTA tracks in Belmont. The Bridge will serve as an access point to the Belmont Community Path, but will not be improved as part of the path project. A bridge must be 8 feet wide for MassDOT path fundability. Widening the bridge would result in loss of its grandfathered status as an 18-foot clearance bridge that preceded the MBTA’s change to a 22.5-foot clearance standard. It is possible that a waiver could be obtained, but not certain. If not, raising the bridge 4.5 feet above its current height would require substantial grading on the south side, possibly including a switchback ramp, to meet ADA requirements. The cost of those changes has been estimated to approach the cost of a new bridge.		paved	Community Path Could Have Bridge, Box
