The FENWAY-YAWKEY MULTI USE PATH is a proposed green link along MBTA owned land, connecting Riverway Park (Muddy River) with the Fenway MBTA station, and 401 Park Drive (formerly Landmark Center).  

As shown in the map below (red line), this short, paved path (~600 feet) would allow pedestrians and cyclists easy, safe access under Park Drive, rather than having to navigate a complicated, dangerous rotary and congested intersections.  

The state has nearly completed plans for this project. Now let’s tell them to move ahead with implementation.  Please sign on to our letter below to show your support.  Remember to scroll all the way down for the submit button.

Update from Boston - May 2021:
The proposed path will connect residents to jobs, public transportation, cultural institutions, and green spaces. Its route crosses under Park Drive along an MBTA-owned parcel. The walk- and bike-friendly path will extend for 1,700 feet. The path will be completed in phases:

PHASE I, MAITLAND TO MINER:
Phase I will be constructed by Massachusetts Department of Transportation as a Transportation Improvement Program project. Construction is scheduled to begin 2021.

PHASE II, MINER TO FENWAY STATION:
Phase II will be constructed by the Landmark Center. Construction is anticipated to begin 2021.

PHASE III, FENWAY STATION TO THE EMERALD NECKLACE PATH IN BROOKLINE:
Phase III requires additional design coordination with the MBTA. Construction would follow the Army Corps of Engineers Muddy River Flood Risk Management Project. That is scheduled to be completed in 2023.

We, the undersigned organization and/or individual, support prompt completion of the Fenway Connector to extend the multi-use trail from the Muddy River Reservation to the Fenway and Lansdowne stations.  This will provide a number of benefits, including:
- A new transportation option for people who live and work in this rapidly growing neighborhood
- Safe bike and pedestrian access to these stations, which will promote increased transit ridership
- An alternative route for pedestrians and cyclists to avoid heavy traffic at Park Drive where it meets the Muddy River
- A more accessible and safe route from transit to area attractions such as Fenway Park
