DECEMBER 8TH 2022Over the last several months, the Town of Marblehead has worked with Toole Design to determine a path forward for upgrading the Marblehead Rail Trail to enhance its safety, accessibility, and user experience. This was made possible by the a grant from the Massachusetts Department of Conservation and Recreation for the overall design of the trail. Thank you to everyone who offered feedback and participated in the process! As a result of our collective work and feedback, the Town, with Toole Design, has finalized the Marblehead Rail Trail Plan. The Plan presents an exciting vision for the future of how the trail can better serve a growing community of users. This vision for a safe, accessible, and connected Marblehead Rail Trail will allow community members to enjoy the trail for years to come. Additionally, this process has also resulted in the Town submitting a Complete Streets Program Grant application to implement several of the recommendations in the report.
