Truman Parkway

Truman Parkway is a historic road connecting Milton and Boston that spans four lanes separated by a grassy median strip. It passes through various neighborhoods and provides access to residential and commercial areas along its route.

The road was completed in 1931 by the Massachusetts Department of Public Works and marked an important infrastructure project for the region. Its significance was later recognized when it was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2005.

The road became an important connector between different neighborhoods after its completion and continues to shape the character of the area today. It is used regularly by residents and forms a green axis through the surrounding built environment.

The road is easily accessible and offers multiple routes for different types of travelers, with wide spaces for pedestrians and cyclists. It is best visited during daylight when traffic is predictable and the surroundings are clearly visible.

Unlike many other parks in the region that were managed by the Metropolitan District Commission, this road emerged from state infrastructure initiatives. This made it a standalone project that differed from the typical parkland development of the city.
