Dedham officials are looking for local residents to participate in an upcoming visioning session for turning an abandoned railway into a pedestrian and bike path.

Dubbed the “Dedham Greenway,” the stretch of land, which spans about 1.5 miles, would incorporate public art and community gardens and connect adjacent neighborhoods up through Boston, according to officials.
