It's not perfect, but it sure beats my wild guesses.Margiehttp://www.stationarybikestand.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12774197.post-24676616045810462672010-08-09T11:14:32.575-05:002010-08-09T11:14:32.575-05:00A couple of further comments.

In response to Bob, I rarely cross at Franklin, normally going from the Fairgrounds or Como Ave down Raymond and then Pelham to cross on the Lake/Marshall bridge. From there, it's about half a mile up to the Greenway and you'd be all set.<br /><br />To gna, a woman here at work was looking at commuting from Plymouth but it's a bit of a mess at the moment because the two likely bridges over the Mississippi are both out of commission. Still, I noticed that the pedestrian/bike bridge over Highway 100 wasn't shown, so submitted a correction and about a month later got an email back that they had added it. It was clearly visible in satellite views but not on the mapping. As you find errors or omissions, let google know because they will fix them.Matthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08627112052787992404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12774197.post-42306087906822503322010-04-05T00:14:56.913-05:002010-04-05T00:14:56.913-05:00Hey Matt, can you post a .gpx of your route.

I cross the river on the southern sidewalk of Franklin Ave Bridge. What Bridge do you use and how do you link with Transitway?

I'll send them a note.<br /><br />It gave me a variety of routes for my commute, though it zig zags through my neighborhood, all to avoid a short section of Marshall without bike lanes.<br /><br />On the whole, it seems to be well done for their first go.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02557659436003461694noreply@blogger.com
