Boston, Newton, & Watertown, Massachusetts share a 12 mile long bicycle path that runs next to the Charles River. It has been there for many years. Other than no motorized vehicles like mopeds, it allows pedestrians, joggers, roller-bladers, skateboarders, bicyclists, unicycles, and pogo sticks. It can get crowded at times, too, especially along the Storrow Drive embankment near the Hatch Shell. It all manages to fit and work. Every once in a blue moon, someone gets creamed by a bicycle and they get hauled off in an ambulance, but not too often.
Are you talking about the loading ramp at Paugus Bay Marina, where it loads boats down its' ramp with a marina forklift from boat rack storage? Does South Down Shore have a boat ramp with rack storage too, or just a launch ramp for boats on trailers?
It would seem that the boat ramps are part of the embankment and that belongs to the state, when it was abandoned, years ago, by the railroad.
