Join New Milford River Trail Assoc on 3rd Annual Western New England Greenway Tour, Jul 26 - Aug 1

7/16/2015

 
The New Milford River Trail is a key link in The Western New England Greenway – an exciting effort to create a safe route for non-motorized transportation following the Route 7 Corridor from Long Island Sound  to the Canadian Border.
Last summer Tom O'Brien, son Jake, and seven other Greenway supporters rode 300 miles from Burlington, VT to New Milford, CT, to build public support for the Greenway.

This year our small group of through-riders will gather in Norwalk, CT  on Sunday, July 26, to ride north to Burlington, VT (arriving Saturday, Aug 1). Several will continue on to cross the border into Quebec.  

The group's plans for Day 1 (Sunday, July 26) are as follows:
  • 8 am: Meet at Norwalk High School (55 County Street, Norwalk) and depart at 8:30 am.
  • 11:30 am: Brief stop in Brookfield at the Still River Greenway parking area on Silvermine Road (next to the Police Station) to meet with local supporters and learn when construction will be completed on their two-mile paved trail. 
  • 1 pm: Arrive at New Milford’s Town Green for a brief rest stop, then heading north, through Sega Meadows and River Road, to our first night's destination in West Cornwall.
  •  5:30 pm: Reception at the Cornwall Public Library (30 Pine Street) Cornwall.
Last summer, riders were thrilled to be joined by 17 local supporters who accompanied the group as they rode into New Milford. If you'd like to meet the group in Norwalk, Brookfield, or anywhere along the route, please email info@nmbikewalk.org and we'll make sure to keep you informed as to the group's progress. 

More information about The Western New England Greenway  (including the route maps) can be found at  http://wnegreenway.org.

Please share with anyone who supports our goal of making it safer and easier for people to walk and bike in this region. 

The New Milford River Trail Association hopes to see you on July 26!
