Dedham Greenway Visioning Session Set for February 12th at the Endicott Estate

DEDHAM, Ma. The Town of Dedham would like to invite the public to participate in
the first visioning session on the Dedham Greenway, the abandoned railway
running from East Street to Readville. This meeting will be facilitated by our
planning consultants The Rails to Trails Conservancy in partnership with the Town
of Dedham.

What
is the Dedham Greenway?

The
Dedham Greenway is a community-led effort to transform a 1.2 mile stretch of
abandoned railway into a new linear park and cultural greenway. At this time
our consultants are initiating a feasibility study and planning process to
convert the abandoned railway into a pedestrian and bike path, which will incorporate
public art and community gardens, as well as connect the adjacent neighborhoods
to each other and to Boston.

What
will happen at the visioning session?

We would
like your input to help create a vision for the Dedham Greenway that identifies
potential recreational and educational activities, cost estimates and economic
opportunities, and addresses safety and security concerns.

Where
and When will the meeting take place?

Our first
meeting will take place at the Endicott Estate, 656 East Street, Dedham on
Wednesday, February 12, 2014, 7:00-9:00 p.m.

can I RSVP or get more information?
