2. Looking Forward to Bike Path Phase II (belmontvoice.org) — Belmont's long-planned community path is moving ahead, with Phase I expected to break ground in 2027 and land for the route recently donated to the town. The project aims to create safer biking and walking connections between Belmont Center, schools, and regional trails, potentially easing traffic and improving air quality while setting the stage for a future Phase II extension westward.
