Somerville Community Path
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Somerville Community Path is a project to connect the Minuteman Bikeway and Cambridge Linear Park to the Charles River and downtown Boston, Massachusetts via a multi-use path. A stretch of 0.8 miles (1.3 km) has been completed heading east from Davis Square in Somerville. The proposed 2.5 mile (4.0 km) extension would mostly run alongside the MBTA Commuter Rail Lowell Line.
The right-of-way west of the Lowell Line was laid out in 1870 as a connection between the Boston and Lowell Railroad's main line and their newly-leased Lexington and Arlington Railroad. It was abandoned in 1991.
