Wayland Town Crier 1/20/12: Supporters gaining momentum for Wayland Rail Trail. Plans for the 3-mile Wayland section of the Massachusetts Central Rail Trail (MCRT) are chugging along, following the signing of a 99-year lease between the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority (MBTA), the owners of the land, and the state Department of Conservation and Recreation (DCR), who wish to develop the property for recreation. The lease, which covers 26 miles of the proposed 107-mile MCRT, was signed at the end of December. Often referred to as the “Wayside Trail,” this section travels through Waltham, Weston, Wayland, Sudbury, Hudson and Berlin. While the DCR is dedicated to the mission, it does not have the estimated $20 million-plus needed to build the trail. The state agency is hoping to partner with individual towns, the federal and state governments, and local groups in a phased development approach. Locally, the Friends of the Wayland Rail Trail would like to lead the effort by creating a demonstration project to help other towns along the corridor, including Sudbury, Hudson and Berlin, as they move forward.
