ACROSS Lexington (Accessing Conservation land, Recreation areas, Open space, Schools and Streets in Lexington) - Fall 2012 Pilot Route

ACROSS Lexington is a proposed network of pedestrian and bicycle routes that will link many parts of the Town of Lexington.

Using various existing public ways, including conservation land trails and sidewalks, the routes will make it possible to travel via foot or bicycle between the center of town and a number of locations throughout the town including historic sites, schools and conservation parcels.

Creating such a network of marked routes is also intended to encourage greater utilization of Lexington’s open-space resources for passive recreation and to make it easier and more inviting to travel between our open space areas on foot or by bicycle. Utilized by both residents and visitors, these routes will provide enjoyment, exercise and an incentive to travel about town without a car.

Accessible by foot or bicycle, ACROSS Lexington routes will also connect users to open space resources in neighboring towns via existing trail resources such as the Western Greenway Trail and the Battle Road Trail in the Minute Man National Historical Park.

	Fall 2012   A Pilot Route for the ACROSS Lexington    project exists now. The full system rollout   will take place over the next several years.               [Google map of pilot route]
