Future Aquidneck Island Bike Path?

January 14, 2012

Today was an important day for a future Aquidneck Island Bike Path. Huge thanks to Rep Peter Martin and the volunteers of the Old Colony & Newport Railway (OCNRR) for taking us on a 4-hour “long ride” of the island’s rail corridor. An incredible group of knowledgeable and interested representatives from all three towns, considering the landscape, the challenges and all the studies conducted over the last decade. Can we get this project rolling? We certainly hope so. For our health, economy, environment and quality of life of residents and visitors alike.
