Description
In my exploration of the surrounding area I found a nice but neglected right of way from John Murphy Drive to the Mill River. At the end there is a path that runs behind your building and has some nice park benches. I am interested in we can spruce up this right of way and river path. In particular I think it could be quite nice to figure out a way to make it a loop so that people could walk it on lunch breaks. In the overgrown right of way I wonder what sort of landscaping could improve the look and ease of maintaining. There are some aspects of it that seem suitable to a small garden running alongside the trail.

Thank You for sharing. I know that Roland Lemar has mentioned that the State is giving back land to the City along 91 behind Humphrey and East. Seems like there is some opportunity to use the existing trail there.

highway ramps to a non-existent highway overwhelm this section of the Mill River. Despite
the seeming difficulties, a route beneath this portion of I-91 provides the most direct route for
an off-road section of the Greenway and holds potentially the greatest rewards."

That stretch of the Mill River passes through several ecosystems, scenic areas and historic sites. It would make a fantastic greenway.
