Overview

Pare was selected by the Quonset Development Corporation (QDC) to design a new off-road, shared-use path within the Quonset Business Park.  The path is approximately 2.4 miles long and was designed to follow existing abandoned roadways and previously-disturbed areas. The completed path consists of a 12-foot wide paved path with 2-foot grassed shoulders, and is located within a new 50-foot right-of-way.

The project provides a safe and scenic route for pedestrians and bikers, stretching from Route 1 (Post Road) to Allen’s Cove (via a connection to the proposed Calf Pasture Point Bike Path), and encourages the use of alternative transportation in the community. Construction was completed in July of 2009.
