Looks like those bikelists from Malden need to work on their Mayor. Like you said, Everett's gets it.

Should this read “connecting Wyllis and West St” rather than “on Wyllis and West St”? Big difference – a path on the abandoned railbed which connects those streets will serve a purpose, connecting neighborhoods and parks. A path ON Wyllis and West does no good for anyone.

The support of the program was back in later 1990 when Rose Lecours and John Ragucci sponsored a resoultion to support the program. Everett was the first city In Massachusetts to sponser the program.

Supported and an passed by the Everett City council over ten years ago. I am very happy that Mayor has brought the idea back>

A group of cyclists in Malden thought up this rail-with-trail bike path from the center of Malden through Everett to Revere Beach. A preliminary feasibility study was undertaken in 1995. There are possible connections to the north and to the Mystic River bikepaths. The City of Everett has applied for design money for the first phase of the Bike to the Sea path. This runs along a rail line that parallels the Malden River. The private developer of the old Monsanto property has committed to extend the path across that property. The developer has sought Bike to the Sea’s assistance in connecting a road and the path to Route 99 near the Mystic Station Power plant at the Boston line. Even if the developer does not come through on the underpass, the path can easily go under the Salem MBTA line Mystic River bridge and connect to Route 99.
