Mass
in Motion Fall River was charged with the task of identifying the
features of 132 locations for wayfinding
signage, maps and web pages related to the new Quequechan
River Rail Trail as part of a new "1422
Project" funded by the Massachusetts
Department of Public Health. Teams of surveyors worked to identify
locations in April 2016. The project is 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 is working on the
project with Mass in Motion Fall River Coordinator Julianne Kelly, both of
whom oversaw the survey. Consultants
from WalkBoston held two public
hearings at Government Center to describe the project
and asked for input from the public. Click
