Bicycle and pedestrian Master Plan

---

See our latest Action Alert on efforts to dismantle Wakefield's first Bike Lane.  

North Avenue between Church Street and Quanapowitt Parkway is under construction.  The new road configuration will consist of 11-12 foot general purpose travel lanes in two directions, a wider sidewalk/shared use path for greater pedestrian comfort, and a northbound, protected bike lane that will be between 5 and 6 feet wide.  This re-design is a great example of Wakefield implementing the Complete Streets Policy that was adopted on September 11, 2017.  More on the North Street re-construction project. 

Wakefield-Lynnfield Rail Trail. The rail trail is a 4.4 mile shared use path along a former rail corridor, beginning at the Main Street/Bennett Street intersection in Wakefield and extending north through Lynnfield to the Peabody line.  To date, Wakefield has completed re-surfacing of the town's right of way and installation of ADA compliant intersection crossings.  Link to the Rail Trail Project.
