Bike path opens today

It's been ten years, but the second phase of the Northwest Bike Trail/ Fred Lippitt Woonasquatucket River Greenway is scheduled to open this morning.

The 3.6-mile bikeway runs from Valley Street, Providence, to Lyman Avenue, Johnston. Part of the path is on-road, but 2.9 miles along the Woonasquatucket River is unpaved.

The path connects the 1.5-mile on-road route from Valley Street to Providence Place mall.

A ribbon-cutting ceremony is set for 10 a.m. at the start of the off-road section in Riverside Mills Park, off Aleppo Street, in Providence.

Mayor David N. Cicilline, Department of Transportation Director Jerome F. Williams, Department of Environmental Management Executive Director W. Michael Sullivan and Jane Sherman, of the Woonasquatucket River Watershed Council, will be there.
