Ten Leeds residents have formed a working group to help shape the Leeds portion of an eventual greenway along the Mill River. Jason Johnson has agreed to serve as chair, so if you are interested in what happens along the river, please send your email address to Jason, so he can include you in meeting notices and other news of the group’s work.  Like the rail trail, the Greenway would serve both pedestrians and bicyclists, but its goals and its pathway are largely different. The Greenway initiative aims to provide a richer experience for both walkers and bicyclists, to protect the Mill River watershed, preserve its cultural artifacts, enhance its biological health, and encourage appreciation for the rich history along the river. One of the few places the Greenway and the rail trail would coincide would be in Leeds, between the intersection of the rail trail and Mulberry Street and where the proposed new rail trail extension would end in Haydenville at South Main Street. (River Rd becomes South Main Street in Haydenville.) You can find a wealth of information about the project and the Mill River history at www.MillRiverGreenway.org.
