[Daniel Amstutz]

The grant program that is most likely to be what you are looking for is 
MassTrails: https://www.mass.gov/guides/masstrails-grants


The Shared Streets and Spaces program, which is likely to have another round 
of applications later this year, might also be applicable:

Hi everyone, 

 

Looking to crowd source potential grant opportunities for building a short 
(400 yards) walking path/bike path that would connect our Town 
Hall/Middle/HS complex to a nearby neighborhood. 

 

Kids from this section of town currently have to take a long roundabout path 
to school. This could shorten their trip significantly. 

 

Town holds a utility easement over the possible route, but the pathway is 
currently overgrown and impassable.

 

Alternatively, this could be viewed as a way to better connect a series of 
bike paths and greenways with a nearby state park. (Wouldn't connect 
directly, but shave considerable time on the trip) 

 

Open to ideas!

 

Thanks

 

Rick Collins
