@neponsetgreenway.bsky.socialIf you encounter a tree down or other damage please report it to DCR.
@neponsetgreenway.bsky.socialPlease be careful on the Neponset River Greenway Trail. There are a lot of slippery wet leaves and small branches and minor flooding.
@neponsetgreenway.bsky.socialWe asked DCR about the overdue #NeponsetTrail detour by Boston Bowl in Dorchester. “Unfortunately, there was an unforeseen delay and they hope the project will wrap-up in November.”
@neponsetgreenway.bsky.socialCome to Pope John Paul 2 Park along the #NeponsetTrail on Saturday, October 10 to learn about monarch butterflies and their milkweed habitat with @neprwa.bsky.social and @massdcr.bsky.social !
@neponsetgreenway.bsky.socialGood news! The new @massdcr.bsky.social Edgewater Greenway Trail and Kennedy Playground in Mattapan are now open! Thanks to the advocacy and support of the Neponset River Watershed Association, Hubluv and the Solomon Foundation.
#Boston
@neponsetgreenway.bsky.socialGetting across Blue Hill Avenue is a challenge. We rode across the river to the #NeponsetTrail crosswalks in Milton, then continued along that trail to Dorchester. We hope to see Boston and the MBTA add a better crosswalk in Mattapan Square.
@neponsetgreenway.bsky.socialWe also enjoyed a preview of the #EdgewaterGreenway which @massdcr.bsky.social plans to open later this year
@neponsetgreenway.bsky.socialThanks to all who joined us on our ride to celebrate the new #CumminsHwy protected bike lanes in Mattapan! This is an excellent #CompleteStreets implementation in a neighborhood that really needs it.
@neponsetgreenway.bsky.socialThe #NeponsetTrail construction detour from Conley Street to Imprint in Dorchester has been in place for about five months now. But the protective wooden panels have been removed so hopefully the detour will end soon.
@neponsetgreenway.bsky.socialThere is a short period of very light sprinkles in the forecast. We plan to meet as scheduled, but may delay the start for a few minutes. We hope to see you soon!
@neponsetgreenway.bsky.socialPlans just released by Boston and the MBTA would create a new pedestrian and bike crosswalk to connect to the #NeponsetTrail & Mattapan Station across #BlueHillAve, saving multiple road and lane crossings. TBD is a possible bikeway detour around Mattapan Square on Woodhaven Street & CumminsHwy.
@neponsetgreenway.bsky.socialThe Cummins Hwy bike lanes form one link in a regional network. The Milton Bike Committee, MAPC, NepRWA and MassDOT have been working on plans for other multi-use paths connecting to the Blue Hills and further out to Randolph.
#BostonToBlueHills #MassTrails #NeponsetTrail
@neponsetgreenway.bsky.socialA related goal of the #GoBoston2030 plan was to create a safe multi-use path connecting from Franklin Park and the Southwest Corridor Path to the Milton town line, and coordinate with state and town plans - including the #NeponsetTrail - to link to the 7000-acre Blue Hills Reservation and beyond.
@neponsetgreenway.bsky.socialThe #CumminsHwy reconstruction project was one of the outcomes of the Neighborhood #CompleteStreets Corridors plans, part of the #GoBoston2030 planning initiative.
@neponsetgreenway.bsky.socialHere's a scene from one of our group rides on Cummins Highway a few years ago when the City was evaluating a pilot program with shorter crosswalks and temporary bike lanes.
@neponsetgreenway.bsky.socialHere's a photo from a couple weeks ago of a person riding southbound on the new protected bike lane, beside a floating bus stop. Join us on the ride to see for yourself, including new landscaping that makes the road much more hospitable to walk along!
