That is awesome, thanks for sharing! As much as I would hate losing BFRT as a gravel trail, the last vote - to keep it as is - felt like a stick in the wheel of cycling infrastructure progress. The Alewife connector in Cambridge, from Fresh Pond to the Charles, has seen maaany new users since its inception. Belmont (with their extension) and Bedford should stop being NIMBYs, rail trails are not that scary.

Oh, man. How likely is Bedford to remove this any time soon? I'm just crazy enough to head out there with my Silky saw and take this on as a challenge (don't ask me why)
