Map of Obscure Somerville-area stairways, ramps, paths, and shortcuts

[ron_newman]

Four years ago, I began making a Google Map of obscure stairways, ramps, paths, and shortcuts in and near Somerville. Since Google Map URLs are quite long, I gave this map a shorter one that's easy to remember:

Please look at the map and let me know of anything you think should be added to, removed from, or changed on this map. You can comment here or send e-mail to the address on my LJ profile page.

I post this notice once or twice every year. Here are links to the earlier posts:
June 2013 | April 2012 | April 2011 | June 2010 | May 2010

Notable changes from last year:

• a new pedestrian/bike underpass below Route 28 between Ten Hills and Assembly Row
  
• the Gilman Street underpass is closed to both pedestrians and vehicles due to McGrath Highway bridge construction

(Even though I'm tagging this "bicycle", many of the places marked on the map are suitable only for pedestrian use.)

If you don't know which precinct you're in, you can look it up at http://www.wheredoivotema.com/bal/MyElectionInfo.aspx ; note that the polling stations on that site haven't been updated yet, but the precinct info should be correct.
