Alewife Bike Paths Completed And Open
Written by Boston Biker on Aug 20Seems the new Alewife bike paths are open and ready for you to walk/ride them. Its been great seeing the network of paths and lanes grow over the last couple years. Lets hope that it all continues to grow and connect. At some point the network will be “complete” enough that your average person will consider it good enough to use, at that point the rapidly growing number of new riders will begin to grow at an exponential rate. Plus these paths look really classy!

The path seems pretty good and a generally useful connector. The signs on the road now prohibit bicycles, not that I ever ride on the road there, but this appears to be a first step to segregating traffic. I wonder if the DCR will do this elsewhere.

Is that wood? Won’t it be slippery in the rain?

Yes, it’s wood. It is cantilevered over the edge of the brook, as there is almost no land between the road and the brook here.
Several sections of the path on the Arlington side are also boardwalk.
