The Lynn Greenway


A new Lynn group is forming as an extension of the Malden based group, Bike to the Sea.
Join others in helping build transportation corridors, open space, connecting communities from the beltway of Boston to the waterfront in Lynn Massachusetts.

Visit the new website, The Lynn Greenway - lynngreenway.blogspot.com
or by joining the facebook page Lynn-Greenway  
( facebook group:  facebook.com/groups/greenlynn )




The first proposal is for a trail in West Lynn, converting abandoned MBTA railroad tracks.  The first steps involve research and collecting data; finding the problems and arriving to a solution with community input. The trail begins at the belt-way of Boston, along the Malden River in Everett and is proposed to end at the waterfront in Lynn.

There are ongoing negotiations between State and Local Lynn officials, the Community, Bike to the Sea members and the MBTA. Malden has begun clearing their segment of the trail way, with the 'Iron Horse' organization assisting with removing the railroad tracks and covering the area with compact stone dust for free.

More information is available at biketothesea.com and massbike.org.
Rail trail conversions are happening across the North Shore and New England.
