DOVER, MA — A former railroad corridor could soon become one of Dover's favorite places to get outside. The town has secured a $260,000 state grant to advance the final design of the proposed Dover Rail Trail, a 3.5-mile multiuse path connecting the Medfield and Needham town lines.
The project would transform unused railroad property into a welcoming space for walkers, cyclists and outdoor enthusiasts.
Design work is expected to wrap up by summer 2027, with additional opportunities for residents to share feedback along the way. The completed design will eventually go before Town Meeting for a vote.
