Dorchester Coast Greenway Community Planning Meeting

Got this in the email from Dotbike if you live in this area, or ride in this area might be worth attending.

——————————

A community meeting to discuss the Dorchester Coast Greenway will be held at the Port Norforlk Yacht Club on March 26th from 10am to 12pm.  The meeting will be run by a Tufts University graduate team from the Department of Urban Environmental Planning and Policy, in collaboration with the Boston Cyclists Union, Dot Bike, Boston Natural Areas Network and Representative Marty Walsh.  The objective of the meeting is to collect resident and stakeholder feedback on a potential greenway link between the Neponset River Trail and UMass Harborwalk.  The meeting will consist of a presentation by the Tufts research team as well as hands on mapping and feedback exercises for the meeting participants.  Dorchester residents and other interested individuals are encouraged to attend.  Please feel free to contact [email protected] with any questions or comments regarding this community meeting.

Presented by MassBike

“Beyond the Greenway II” will start at 10:00 am on Sunday, October 26, at
the Hallet St. entrance to Pope John Paul II Park in Dorchester–so we can
bike past the new mural on the SE Expressway underpass–and head north
along the waterfront all of the way to Fort Point Channel, where we will
head up the South Bay Harbor Trail to Mass. Ave. We’ll turn around at
Crosstown and head back to the starting point. Map and more info at

Beyond The Greenway Ride: Earth Day Bike Ride

Saturday, April 26, Beyond the Greenway Ride (for Earth Day) 10:00 am, Fowl Meadow parking lot on Brush Hill Road just south of the Neponset Valley Parkway, just east of Paul’s Bridge and the Boston/Milton border.

We’ll head the opposite direction from last month,following Burma Road to the Bridge to Nowhere, then going south on beautiful Elm St. in Canton, ending with views of the Blue Hills and Boston from The Trustees of Reservations’ new Signal Hill Reservation. It’s not a very long ride, around 10 miles, but the first couple of miles are off-road through the Fowl Meadow section of the DCR’s Blue Hills Reservation.

Hybrid or mountain bikes are recommended, though Burma Road has a hard enough surface that it has been ridden with skinny tires. Helmets are required.

The ride is cosponsored by MassBike’s Metro Boston Chapter, the Boston Natural Areas Network, an affiliate of The Trustees of Reservations and the NGO force behind the Neponset Trail, and the Neponset River Watershed Association, which works to protect and restore the Neponset River.

If it’s muddy, we’ll take Rt. 138 in at least one direction, which would add a mile each way. We could also walk Burma Road, if it’s not *that* muddy. It would be nice to get back to the start in time to make the 1:30 talk about local impacts of climate change at the Arnold Arboretum.

If it is raining hard, we won’t ride at all. There is no rain date set, but contact me about another date.
