BOSTON WORCESTER AIR LINE BIKE TRAIL
ROUTE PLANNING
SHREWSBURY – NORTHBOROUGH - WESTBOROUGH
PROJECT SCOPE
In the spring of 2013, the Central Massachusetts Regional Planning Commission (CMRPC) was asked to provide
technical assistance to the Trail Committees of Shrewsbury and Northborough as part of the Westborough Bicycle
and Pedestrian Advisory Committee efforts to develop a bicycle trail or route to approximate, as close as possible,
the former Boston Worcester Air Line Trolley (BWALT) route. Similar assistance was requested of the Metropolitan
Area Planning Council (MAPC) to develop the trail’s route from the Westborough town line through Southborough
and into Framingham.
Don Burn, a member of the Westborough Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Committee, authored “Boston
Worcester Air Line Trail: A Route 9 Corridor Multi-Use Path Concept Plan”, which was the starting point for much
of what follows.
PROJECT WORK SESSIONS
Initial scoping meetings to discuss the project took place on February 14, 2013 with the town planners, MAPC, and
CMRPC at CMRPC’s offices in Worcester and on April 10, 2013 with representatives of the Shrewsbury,
Northborough, and Westborough Trail Committees in Shrewsbury.
On May 7, 2013, Jim Robbins and Don Burn from Westborough, Kristen Las, Brad Stone, and Bob and Jeanne Shaw
from Shrewsbury, Rick Handfield of MassDOT District 3, and Jonathan Church and Trish Settles from CMRPC met to
walk parts of the former BWALT alignment and to discuss Shrewsbury route options. Since the former BWALT
alignment followed much of Route 9 near Worcester and the area is now heavily developed, it is assumed the bike
trail will use existing roadways until Stanley Road. We began our trail reconnaissance on Rolfe Avenue at the New
England Power property and completed our tour on Nursery Drive.
On May 20, 2013, Jim Robbins, Bruce Tretter, and Don Burn of Westborough, Kathy Joubert and Bob Mihalek of
Northborough, and Trish Settles of CMRPC met near the intersection of Route 9 and Route 20 in
Northborough. Similarly, the group reviewed and discussed pros and cons to alternative routes for the BWALT. In
this section, crossing Route 20 creates many challenges and was the focus of discussion. Additionally on August 9,
2013, Jonathan Church and Trish Settles of CMRPC, Rick Handfield of Mass DOT, and Bob Mihalek of Northborough
met to discuss the complicated crossing of Route 20 in further detail.
ROUTE ALTERNATIVES
A draft map with three alternative routes was developed and shared at a joint meeting of the Northborough and
Shrewsbury Trails Committee on August 14, 2013.

Considerations for route alternatives included the following:
•
•
•
•
•
Safety and bikeability (A Bikeability Checklist, including many useful references, is attached.)
o Wider roads with shoulders are preferred to narrow roads with little or no shoulder.
o Roads where a bike lane could be added are preferred.
o Quieter roads and intersections are preferred over busy and confusing intersections.
Keeping as close to the original BWALT as possible is desirable.
A good balance between cost (land acquisition and construction) and ease of construction will be
important.
In many areas, the most logical route was on existing and often busy roadways.
In many areas, the original route would be difficult to use, because access would require the negotiation
of easements across many small parcels of land.
Each alternative is roughly the same from Lake Quinsigamond to the intersection of Oak Street and Sheridan Drive
and from the intersection of Tavern Street and Lake Street to the intersection of Otis Street and Route 9. Three
alternatives were developed for the middle section from Oak Street and Sheridan Drive to Tavern Street and Lake
Street. A map including all three routes is included. A “Mapmyride.com” map with route elevation profile and
turn by turn instructions is included for each route alternative.
BWALT A LTERNATIVE 1
Alternative 1 runs from Route 9 at Lake Quinsigamond in Shrewsbury to the Otis Street crossing of Route 9 in
Westborough and is 7.15 miles long. This route crosses Route 9 south to north at Lake Street in Shrewsbury, with
a maximum elevation of 600 feet and an elevation gain of 233 feet. Around 1.5 miles from the western starting
location on Lake Quinsigamond, the route ascends from 450 feet to almost 600 feet at about 3.0 miles.
The benefits of this route option include its proximity to the Glavin Center Athletic Fields. The crossing of Route 9
at Lake Street is challenging, but the roadway has a wider shoulder and appears to be more accommodating of
bicycles. However, there is a greater volume of traffic on Lake Street than on Oak Street, the Route 9 crossing
described in Alternative 2. The intersection would need to be upgraded to incorporate bicycle sensors and signage.
BWALT A LTERNATIVE 2
Alternative 2 runs from Route 9 at Lake Quinsigamond in Shrewsbury to the Otis Street crossing of Route 9 in
Westborough and is 6.54 miles long. This route crosses Route 9 south to north at Oak Street in Shrewsbury, with a
maximum elevation of 597 feet and an elevation gain of 236 feet. Around 1.2 miles from the western starting
location on Lake Quinsigamond, the route ascends from 420 feet to almost 571 feet at about 2.1 miles.
The benefits of this routing include its direct access to the Oak Middle School. The crossing of Route 9 at Oak
Street is challenging. The roadway has a narrower shoulder and appears to be less accommodating of bikes. The
intersection would need to be upgraded to incorporate bicycle sensors and signage.
BWALT A LTERNATIVE 3
Alternative 3 runs from Route 9 at Lake Quinsigamond in Shrewsbury to the Otis Street crossing of Route 9 in
Westborough and is 6.31 miles long. This route crosses Route 9 south to north if possible under an original trolley
underpass between Crescent and Lake Streets with a maximum elevation of 581 feet and an elevation gain of 226
Boston Worcester Air Line Trolley Bike Trail
2013
Page 2
feet. Around 1.7 miles from the western starting location on Lake Quinsigamond, the route ascends from 460 feet
to almost 580 feet at about 2.5 miles.
The benefits of this route option include a somewhat smaller elevation change. The underpass crossing of Route 9
between Crescent and Lake Street will be an engineering challenge. It is suspected that the original trolley line
underpass is still present, however further study would be needed to confirm its existence and, if present, its
condition. Several additional private easements will be required.

E ASEMENTS
Easements will be required for the trail from Rolfe
Avenue to Sheridan Avenue where it crosses Town of
Shrewsbury Municipal Light Department and New
England Power Company properties. The combination
of these easements pass under power lines and
through wooded and overgrown areas connecting a
driveway blocked by a gate and the back of the parking
lot of the Sheridan Apartment complex.

Street. (Photo by Trish Settles)
The section between Oak Street and Tavern Street has three different options.
The first route alternative, Alternative 1, requires no easements and is entirely on the roadway. The second route
alternative, Alternative 2, requires only one easement
that crosses the grounds of the Oak Middle School. The
third alternative requires easements to cross north of
Route 9 to connect Industrial Drive to Douglas Circle via a
former trolley underpass. From Industrial Drive to Route
9, two easements would be needed – one from St.
Mary’s Assyrian Orthodox Church to access their paved
parking lot, driveway and the other easement from C&L
Development to cross their undeveloped land to reach
Route 9. From the north side of Route 9, an easement
would be needed from the Jamestown Realty LLC to
cross their eastern border (parking area) to reach the
parking lot/driveway for the Imperial Apartment
complex. From there additional easements would be

necessary to connect to Douglas Circle.

The next section connects Tavern Street to the Shrewsbury/Northborough town line. From the end of the cul-desac on Tavern Street, the trail will closely follow its original path with an easement from Ralph A Easton Trust. After
crossing Grafton Street, again the trail will closely follow it original path on an easement from the Shrewsbury
Water Department behind several homes on Melody Lane. The trail continues on land owned by various
departments of the Town of Shrewsbury until it crosses Fruit Street. From Arbor Street, the trail will require a
series of easements to cross from the Arbor Commons Apartment complex, across a parcel owned by Gary B.
Burkhart and finally to the parking lot driveway (Tennis Street) of the Shrewsbury Sports Center. After crossing
Walnut Street, the trail will again use Town of Shrewsbury land to reach the Northborough town line.

The last section connects the Shrewsbury/Northborough town line to Otis Street as it enters Westborough. From
the town line to the driveway to the Northborough Crossing (Shops Way), four easements of uncertain
configurations will be needed across undeveloped land.
After crossing Route 20, the trail will cross land currently owned by Northacres LLC and used as a driving range.
The Town of Northborough has spoken with the future owners of this land and has received assertions that an
easement across what will soon be a baseball/softball complex is possible. Combining this easement with one
from Loren Street will allow the trail to cross Lawrence Street. Finally an easement on what appears to be a
driveway/storage area, owned by James P. Magennis, will connect Lawrence Street to Otis Street.

A summary of off road easements required by each route alternative is contained in Table 2. For each
parcel/segment, the parcel identification number, parcel owner listed in the town’s online database on August 21,
2013, the assessor’s address, an indication of whether it is publicly or privately owned, and an estimate of the level
of legal difficulty the trail organizers might encounter when trying to obtain an easement across the parcel. The
level of difficulty was estimated based on a scale of 1 to 4 as follows:
1234-
Town owned agency with related goals,
Town owned or other public agency with unrelated goals,
Privately owned, easement previously discussed as probable, and
Privately owned, no previous discussion of easement.

NEXT STEPS
C ONNECTIVITY
The Boston Worcester Air Line Trail has the potential to connect to numerous other walking and bike paths, either
existing or proposed, as well as many recreation and transit facilities.
Some of the possible connections are suggested in the CMRPC Northeast Subregion Inter-Community Trail
Connection Feasibility Study (2000).
E ASEMENT A SSEMBLY
Assembling parcels or easements may be difficult. Once a project is announced parcel owners view their asset
differently because it suddenly has value to a public entity as part of a larger project. This newly valued asset may
then demand a higher acquisition price, thereby making the project overall more time consuming and expensive.
CMPRC’s focus for this planning phase has been to investigate easements and route options for the BWALT
through Shrewsbury and Northborough. Future CMRPC contributions to the project may involve cost benefit
analysis of select route options.
At the August 14, 2013 meeting, there was a brief discussion about possible actions to continue advancing the
BWALT to reality. Some suggestions included seeking additional technical assistance from CMRPC via its District
Local Technical Assistance (DLTA) Program. CMRPC may be able to assist the Shrewsbury, Northborough and
Westborough Trail/Bike and Pedestrian Committees by performing further investigation of the three (3) route
alternatives with regard to the following:
•
•
Connectivity to existing open space, recreation and trails, as well as community destinations such as
shopping areas, commuter rail stations, schools.
Funding and resources for easements, intersection upgrades, land acquisition.

Bikeability Checklist
How bikeable is your community?
Riding a bike is fun!
Bicycling is a great way to get around and to get
your daily dose of physical activity. It's good for
the environment, and it can save you money. No
wonder many communities are encouraging
people to ride their bikes more often!
Can you get to where you
want to go by bike?
Some communities are more bikeable than others:
how does yours rate? Read over the questions in
this checklist and then take a ride in your
community, perhaps to the local shops, to visit a
friend, or even to work. See if you can get where
you want to go by bicycle, even if you are just
riding around the neighborhood to get some
exercise.
At the end of your ride, answer each question and,
based on your opinion, circle an overall rating for
each question.You can also note any problems you
encountered by checking the appropriate box(es).
Be sure to make a careful note of any specific
locations that need improvement.
Add up the numbers to see how you rated your
ride. Then, turn to the pages that show you how
to begin to improve those areas where you gave
your community a low score.
Before you ride, make sure your bike is in good
working order, put on a helmet, and be sure you
can manage the ride or route you've chosen.
Enjoy the ride!

During your bike ride, how did you feel physically?
Could you go as far or as fast as you wanted to? Were you
short of breath, tired, or were your muscles sore? The next
page also has some suggestions to improve the enjoyment of
your ride.
Bicycling, whether for transportation or recreation, is a
great way to get 30 minutes of physical activity into your day.
Riding, just like any other activity, should be something you
enjoy doing. The more you enjoy it, the more likely you'll
stick with it. Choose routes that match your skill level and
physical activities. If a route is too long or hilly, find a new
one. Start slowly and work up to your potential.

Improving your community's score...
(continued)
What you can do
immediately
What you and your community
can do with more time
• report unsafe drivers to the police
• set an example by riding
responsibly; obey traffic laws; don't
antagonize drivers
• always expect the unexpected
• work with your community to raise
awareness to share the road
• ask the police department to enforce
speed limits and safe driving
• encourage your department of motor
vehicles to include "Share the Road"
messages in driver tests and
correspondence with drivers
• ask city planners and traffic engineers
for traffic calming ideas
• encourage your community to use
cameras to catch speeders and red
light runners
• plan your route ahead of time
• find somewhere close by to lock your
bike; never leave it unlocked
• report scary dogs to the animal
control department
• learn to use all of your gears!
• ask your community to publish a local
bike map
• ask your public works department to
install bike parking racks at key
destinations; work with them to
identify locations
• petition your transit agency to install
bike racks on all their buses
• plan your local route network to
minimize the impact of steep hills
• establish or join a bicycle user group
(BUG) at your workplace
• go to your local bike shop and buy a
helmet; get lights and reflectors if you
are expecting to ride at night
• always follow the rules of the road
and set a good example
• take a class to improve your riding
skills and knowledge
• ask the police to enforce bicycle laws
• encourage your school or youth
agencies to teach bicycle safety
(on-bike)
• start or join a local bicycle club
• become a bicycle safety instructor
4. Did drivers behave well?
Drivers:
Drove too fast
Passed me too close
Did not signal
Harassed me
Cut me off
Ran red lights or stop signs
5. Was it easy for you to use
your bike?
No maps, signs, or road markings to help me find
my way
No safe or secure place to leave my bicycle at my
destination
No way to take my bicycle with me on the bus or train
Scary dogs
Hard to find a direct route I liked
Route was too hilly
6. What did you do to make your
ride safer?
Wore a bicycle helmet
Obeyed traffic signals and signs
Rode in a straight line (didn't weave)
Signaled my turns
Rode with (not against) traffic
Used lights, if riding at night
Wore reflective materials and bright clothing
Was courteous to other travelers (motorists, skaters,
pedestrians, etc.)
