New England?EUR??,,????'?????< Toward that effort, in early December, Mass. state Sen. Richard Moore (D-Uxbridge) and officials from the state Highway Department, the Heritage Corridor Commission and the state Department of Conservation and Recreation met with property owners along the proposed 48-mile Blackstone River Bikeway. This bikeway has been in the works since the mid-1990s. When completed, it will connect Worcester, Mass. to Providence, R.I. The only built segment is a 2.5-mile stretch in Millbury, which opened in 2005, and an eight-mile section through Lincoln, Cumberland and Manville in Rhode Island. Diane Keith, the landscape architect for the Blackstone River Valley National Heritage Corridor Commission, finally sees some momentum for the bikeway. Mass. State Highway Commissioner Luisa Paiewonsky announced a $4 million grant for the project in September. The state funds will begin the design of a 16.5-mile stretch through Uxbridge, Northbridge, Grafton, Sutton and Millbury, as well as land takings, environmental study and construction of the remainder of the bikeway in Mass. The next step for the project involves the design of two segments in Blackstone, Millville and Uxbridge. The bikeway will probably start at the Blackstone River and follow the Southern New England Trunkline Trail, an abandoned railroad corridor running about 22 miles, part of the Southern New England Rail Trail System.
