The Minuteman Bikeway is a 10-mile (16-kilometre)〔Some sources list it erroneously as 11 miles. The confusion arises because the mile marker at the beginning of the trail is 1 instead of 0. Wikipedia editors have measured the distance as shown on maps and in Google Earth, and it appears to be 10 miles to within a few hundredths of a mile. For further verification, see: (Project for Public Spaces ) or (About the Lexington Branch )〕 paved multi-use rail trail located in the Greater Boston area of Massachusetts. It runs from Bedford to Alewife station, passing through Lexington and Arlington along the way. ==Route== |} The Minuteman Bikeway runs from Bedford to the Alewife station at the northern end of the Red Line in Cambridge. It passes through the towns of Lexington and Arlington on the way. Also along the route are several notable regional sites, including Alewife Brook Reservation, Spy Pond, "Arlington’s Great Meadows" (actually located in Lexington) and Hanscom Air Force Base. At its Cambridge terminus, the bikeway connects with four other bike paths: *the Fitchburg Cutoff Path *the Cambridge Linear Park which, in turn, leads to the Somerville Community Path. *the Alewife Brook Greenway, a connection to the Mystic River bike path, following Alewife Brook. The Alewife Brook extension received $4M from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 as the "Minuteman Bikepath Connector" project.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Patrick-Murray Administration Obligates 100% of ARRA Highway Funding One Month Ahead of Schedule )〕 * a sidewalk path to Fresh Pond Reservation. Plans are underway to extend the Somerville Community Path to downtown Boston, which would create a much larger continuous bikeway accessible from the Minuteman. At the Bedford end, the Minuteman Bikeway connects with the Narrow Gauge Rail Trail and the Reformatory Branch Rail Trail.〔(Rail-Trails at Bedford Depot Park )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Minuteman Bikeway」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
