JP itself boasts great places to bike, such as the Southwest Corridor path, the Jamaicaway path, the Arboretum, and Franklin Park. However, it can be quite daunting trying to bike from JP to elsewhere within and near Boston. Our intention for creating the map was to show places to ride within Jamaica Plain and offer suggested routes for getting from JP to various places of interest. The map, which is available as a tab on the top of each page, is intended to be a “living” document, and your input is not only welcome but necessary. I don’t claim to know the best route from JP to South Station, since I still get lost or get caught on one way roads!

Our education committee will brainstorm to come up with the most common destinations and agree on one or more routes to get there by bike. In the near future, our intent is to implement a “forum” on the maps page which will provide a convenient mechanism for site visitors to comment on map routes, suggest new ones, or request that we provide a suggested route to a destination of the visitor’s choice. For now, you can add comments to this blog post to do any of these things.

The map itself is available from a tab at the top of this page, and can is also at this link.
