Our Vision
The Berkshire Bike Path Council is working to create a border to border bikeway route of approximately 75 miles-utilizing railway corridors and related off-road bike paths where possible along with on-road bike lanes, extending from the Vermont border in Williamstown south through North Adams, Adams, Cheshire, Lanesboro, Pittsfield, Lenox, with further exploration needed for defining routes through Stockbridge, Lee, Great Barrington and Sheffield to the Connecticut border. This primary north-south route will serve as the central spine for secondary connections with diverse destinations, including schools, businesses, community centers, transportation links, recreational opportunities and other points of interest.
Berkshire Regional Planning Commission (BRPC) is coordinating all
