Path Proposed Between Jamaica Plain and Roslindale

JAMAICA PLAIN - A new path has been proposed to connect Roslindale and Jamaica Plain and encourage pedestrian and bicycle traffic.

Neighborhood group WalkUp Roslindale has put forth the proposal, which would connect Roslindale Village to the Forest Hills MBTA station.

WalkUp Roslindale describes its goal as making Roslindale "the most pedestrian-friendly neighborhood in the city of Boston."

Its proposed path would parallel the commuter rail lines through the Arnold Arboretum to Bussey Street and cross South Street to the Blackwell Path, emerging down the street from the Forest Hills stop, the Boston Home Team reported.

According to WalkUp Roslindale, the plan is still open for discussion and several points are still being considered, including the crossing at South Street and Bussey.
