Mass
in Motion Fall River arranged for the installation of wayfinding
signage related to the new Quequechan
River Rail Trail opening in the center of the City adjacent to the
Flint Neighborhood. The project is
part of a new "1422
Project" funded by the Massachusetts
Department of Public Health designed to improve opportunities for
physical activity and to help people at risk for diabetes and high blood
pressure to become more active. SSTAR
Community Prevention Coordinator Eric Andrade, who is working on the
project with Mass in Motion Fall River Coordinator Julianne Kelly, and WalkBoston,
joined Cory McCarty of Seaport Graphics to install several sidewalk signs
directing people to the Trail. Additional signs will be mounted on poles
directing people to the Trail and to other nearby destinations. The signs
all designate the number of minutes that average walker will spend getting
to the destination rather than a mileage estimate. Click
