| A really trashy part of Weston. No really. You're looking at a pile of trash. |
Eight lanes of asphalt highway are all that separate the towns of Waltham and Weston, Massachusetts. These hundred or so feet divide people making around $50,000 a year from those making closer to $200,000. Perhaps this is the unspoken math that has prevented Weston from embracing a rail trail to connect the two communities. While they might shop together at the Auburndale Star Market, the folks in Weston are a little reluctant to invite the masses into their manicured back yards.
Regardless of the reason, the reluctance to develop a paved trail along the old railbed connecting Waltham with the rest of Western Massachusetts is a gift to fat tire bikers.
