Great advice from our Melrose friends about staying safe on Halloween!

Wanna know what's REALLY scary and ghoulish? Distracted drivers. Keep your community safe this evening and leave your cars at home! If you must drive, **drive responsibly and pay attention**.

We are feeling so jazzed about biking in Medford lately. Look at the happy crowds riding this weekend with Family Bike Ride from Assembly Row in Somerville to the new universal playground at the McGlynn public school complex in Medford for the Halloween Family Bike Ride 2024, almost entirely off-street! We can't wait for the Clippership Connector path next year to really open up the path system between Mystic Riverbend Park and Medford Square!

We are loving how many people are starting to embrace cycling in the Boston area, and are so appreciative of all the local people help making it possible!

This will be an underpass below MA-28 that will allow bike/walk connections along the riverfront at Wellington in Medford, MA, USA. Construction starts Fall 2025.

Proud to have secured $500,000 in community project funding to complete the final phase of the Wellington Greenway in Medford. This funding will make it safer for cyclists and pedestrians to cross the busy Wellington Circle intersection. It provides another safe, green path for commuting in MA-5.

A bit more than a year from now, we hope/expect there's a ribbon cutting on the Clippership Connector path between Medford Square and the Middle Schools.
