Re: [Talk-us] Ashuwillticook Rail Trail in Massachusetts

Thanks, Kevin.  I believe it will be sorted in a month, but you never know.  
Great to have a dedicated mapper like you so willing to help, I will mention it 
if isn't sorted by then.  Kerry Irons (ACA volunteer) believes the AASHTO 
ballot process will be around "month's end" so that sketches a date for OSM / 
OCM to contain / display a completed route.  We'll get there, I think we're 
almost there.

North Adams is about an hour-and-a-half drive from here. If someone
convinces me it's important enough, I might be able to make time this
summer to head over there and scout it out.  There's a big stretch of
the Taconic Crest Trail north of Route 2 that remains unmapped, so
that would be another project while I'm over there. (Or I could just
not worry about other mapping and go climb Mount Greylock - I haven't
been up there in years.)

Steve, ping me in a month or so if it's not sorted by then.

The MassDOT blog reports the railtrail was extended north from Hoosac St to
Lime St in 2017.

"Ashuwillticook Rail Trail Section Open, Trail Now 12.2 Miles | MassDOT
Blog"
https://blog.mass.gov/transportation/uncategorized/ashuwillticook-rail-trail-final-section-open-trail-now-12-2-miles/

Alas the DCR (parks and rec) trail page still reports the original length,
hasn't updated the trail map since 2012, so no armchair information if the
northern 1.2 miles extension is same 10' paved width filling the ROW as the
original or not.

(Reported lengths 11.2+1.2=12.2 doesn't quite add up exactly either?)

(I'm at the coastal urban near end of Mass, No.Adams is far end, not
heading that way soon alas.)
