1) How did the Bay Colony Rail Trail project start?

The Bay Colony Rail trail project was first identified as part of the Needham Bikes effort in the spring of 2009, and Medfield and Dover representation was quickly brought into the fold.

2) How far along is the project to becoming a reality?

To this date the fastest rail trail conversion in Massachusetts took 6 years. The Bruce Freeman Rail Trail had the ribbon-cutting ceremony for the first section on August 29, 2009. The people who made it happen started working on it in 1987 - 22 years ago. Other projects have taken 7 to 10 years.
