This page allows you to suggest edits to the map data!
You'll be able to see your edits throughout the site, but they won't be visible to anyone else until I approve them.

How things are organized:

Trails are collections of smaller parts called segments.
Segments can belong to multiple trails.
Both trails and segments can have names, descriptions, and links.
Segments can have timeline events, which can be shared across multiple segments.

126	BFRT Phase 3, Framingham Phase 1	The Framingham section of the trail has been divided into two parts. Phase 1, which is about 1.4 miles, runs from Eaton Road south to Frost Street. Currently Phase 1 in Framingham, along with the final 1.3 miles in Sudbury (BFRT Phase 3 Sudbury), is scheduled for the 2029 TIP. However, Framingham Planning and Community Development Director Sarkis Sarkisian, who is charged with coordinating development of the BFRT in Framingham, says he is optimistic that the construction schedule can be accelerated. It is hoped that both the Sudbury section and Phase 1 in Framingham can be constructed concurrently.	Bruce Freeman Rail Trail	design	Friends of the BFRT, Spring/Summer 2025 Newsletter

The trail was binder (base) paved by May 14 and surface (top coat) paved in July, but additional construction improvements are ongoing. HAWK Red Light signal fabrication (at hazardous Route 20 Sudbury and Main Street Hudson crossings) is scheduled for the end of October 2025. DCR expects the build to complete by the end of 2025.

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.

Funding the 100% design of the two bridge rehabilitation would be associated with the 2024 revision to the MBTA Riverside Station mixed use development proposal, which needs Newton City Council approval as of March 2025.

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.

In 2020, the Arboretum installed a mulch path along the alignment of the proposed Peters Hill shared-use path section.

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.

91	Marblehead Rail Trail	The Marblehead Rail Trail is 4.5 miles long, and includes two branches—one running west to the Salem line, the other southwest to Swampscott—that converge at one leg of the old wye (triangular junction of rail lines that allow for trains to reverse direction) by the Village Street bridge. The trail’s gravel surface varies widely in its condition, showing significant erosion damage in some areas. While the section of trail between Rockaway Avenue and Seaview Avenue was regraded and resurfaced in 2018, other sections remain untouched. Where the trail embankment is steep, informal access paths can contribute to erosion problems. Trail width varies significantly, from 4 to 10 feet wide. Gates, steep grades, and lack of curb ramps make roadway crossings challenging and potentially unsafe for trail users.	Marblehead Rail Trail Improvement Projects	2

177	Route 9 Shared Use Path Network	This shared use path network is a main component of the MassDOT "Modified" Diverging Diamond Interchange Route 27 over Route 9 Project in Natick. MassDOT calls the Diverging Diamond Interchange "Modified" because it is unique in several ways, including a strong emphasis on the creation of a network of shared use paths. It features an exclusive, shared use path bridge between the road bridges. The SUP will connect to the Cochituate Rail Trail, the MathWorks campus, and many other businesses along Route 9.
