Groveland Community Trail

As of October 2018: the 100% Design Plan for the Groveland Community Trail is submitted to both MassDOT and National Grid.

The off-road "rail trail" segment of this project is scheduled to receive construction funds ($2,365,973) in FY2021 by way of MassDOT's planned 2019-2023 Transportation Improvement Program (TIP). This off-road trail section of the Groveland Community Trail will be a 2 mile, shared-use paved path connecting multiple community areas, including the Bagnall Elementary School, the Center Street Greenway, Shanahan Field, and multiple residential neighborhoods.

Ultimately, the vision is for two connected trail segments; plus longer term interconnecting spokes:

2 miles off-road from 441 Main Street to King Street via National Grid's right-of-way.
1.3 miles on-road from Town Hall to 441 Main Street via Main Street
Longer term, key connections to improved sidewalks and other pedestrian transportation improvements; many funded by MassDOT's ongoing Complete Streets Funding Program

At Groveland's 2014, and 2015 Annual Town Meetings, voters supported warrant articles approving existing CPA funds for design work - and again in 2016, voters approved existing CPA dollars to finalize Groveland's commitment to design costs of the off-road trail segment.
