Rail Trail A Great Opportunity To Add Value To Our Community

A release from the Friends of the Lynnfield Rail Trail:

Experts tell us that our Rail Trail will get built. They are getting built all around us.

It is not IF but WHEN!

We say that you cannot take this for granted. It will take the silent YES supporters to make the Lynnfield Rail Trail a reality.

3 key benefits :

*Improves Health and Wellness: physical health, mental health, social health.

* Improves Community/Social connection.

* Improves Safety - provides off road recreational alternative for all ages and abilities free from distracted drivers.

We feel very strongly that the Rail Trail will be viewed as the #1 recreational asset in Lynnfield, as it is in many other communities. Danvers just completed a town wide survey in which they too rank it #1.

Towns with strong Education and Rail Trails/ Recreational Paths/ Greenways make up the backbone of the most desired and fiscally wise towns. This is increasingly a must in Massachusetts to maintain desirability.

This Rail Trail project is a great opportunity to add value to our community.

We can get this built. We will all be the better for it.
