Comments on: Alewife Updates — Bikepath from Belmont to Alewife http://willbrownsberger.com/index.php/archives/2925 State Senator -- 2nd Suffolk and Middlesex -- Democrat Wed, 08 Feb 2012 01:18:05 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Will Brownsberger http://willbrownsberger.com/index.php/archives/2925#comment-1286 Will Brownsberger Tue, 16 Nov 2010 01:54:10 +0000 http://willbrownsberger.com/?p=2925#comment-1286 It's actually not supposed to fully finished until 2012. There are many pieces to the project and some parts will be done much sooner. Lots of people are sneaking on and enjoying the new segment of 500 yards or so of paved surface at the Belmont end.

I thought it was supposed to be finished by now, but it seems that it's still closed... thank you. Is there any further update on when the path will be open again?

Basically, my idea with the bike path is to make it easier for people to get from Belmont to Alewife and then more people will take the T, which will make it easier for the T to afford improvements. But, I recently did get the T to spend some money to clean up the upper reaches of the station. Hope that gets noticed too. The bikepath money is not easily transferred to other purposes.

Missing/broken expansion joints, exposed rusted rebar etc. Go to the station on a rainy day and take a look...it's like WaterWorld. Will, do you know if there is any $ for repairs? I'm all for bike paths but seems like a misallocation of tax payer funds given the dire condition of this 30 year old structure.

The Belmont end of the Bike Path is being delayed. We are waiting for the MBCR to relocate some power lines that are in the way of the path.I will keep you up dated. Next we will be installing signs and pavement markings from Alewife MBTA STA. to Mass. Ave., also we will start working on the Pedestrian Bridge over Alewife Brook."

You can see some progress there. I'm not sure why they haven't been working on the main segment. I'm getting curious too and will check They are working on the segment through the T Station area.
