Riverside greenway
WORKING Group
creating connections / restoring a legacy
What is the Riverside GreenwayWorking Group?The RGWG is a coalition of trail advocates from Bike Newton, The Newton Conservators, The Lawrence and Lillian Solomon Foundation, and the neighborhoods of Newton Lower Falls and Auburndale. OUR VISION is to develop a trail network closing the gap between the Blue Heron Trail at Lyons's Park and Riverside MBTA station, the "Trestle Bridge' in Newton Lower Falls and beyond. Committee Members: Allison Burson, Ted Chapman, Tod Cochran, Henry Finch, Katherine Howard, Herb Nolan, Nathan Phillips, Larry Smith. | Images of the Charles River you will see from the Greenway trail system. |
The Riverside Greenway Concept includes a combination of a shared-use, ADA-compliant trail and a network of foot-trails to connect the current terminus of the Blue Heron Trail in Lyons Field in Auburndale with the Lower Falls "Trestle" Bridge. The Riverside Greenway Working Group presented their work over the last year to make this vision reality to an enthusiastic, standing-room-only audience at the Newton Main Library on January 24th 2018.
