ROCKLAND — Members of Rockland’s Harbor Trail Committee, along with Capt. Jim Sharp, of Sharp’s Point South and the Sail, Power, Steam Museum, officially marked the permitted easement rights of a sidewalk-width stretch of land between the street and the railroad tracks for use by pedestrians. The goal is to extend and improve the Harbor Trail on Mechanic Street.
Harbor Trail Committee members Peter Richardson, Joan Wright, Dean Felton, and City Councilor Louise MacLellan-Ruf gathered there June 12 on gravel trail, which is financed by grant funding from the Recreational Trail Program, and is being constructed by Farley and Son Landscaping of Rockport.
Atlantic and Mechanic streets are the last legs of an urban pathway that stretches five miles from the breakwater on the north side of Rockland, to Mechanic Street, on the south side.
Rockland residents have been working toward a community trail along the waterfront since the 1990s.
