This website was created by Jane and Phil Hanser. We are residents of Newton who live one block off of the Carriage Lane, and we have logged thousands of miles either running, biking and walking on the Carriage Lane over a period of years, from 5am on a cold winter morning before the sun has risen to a moonless midnight during a snow blizzard, to the glorious New England spring and summer.
We know that the Carriage Lane is a unique resource for Newton and that it has never really reached its full potential value. We have been working since 2010 to see its full potential realized. We are pleased to see it now, after years of ideas and effort, bringing much joy to so many.
We look forward to continuing to work with the Fuller Administration, especially Transportation Planning, DPW and Parks, Recreation and Culture, to make this dream come true.
Jane Hanser is a member of the Steering Committee of Bike Newton. Phil Hanser is an Energy Coach with the City of Newton’s Climate and Sustainability Team, and a member of the Newton Citizens’ Commission on Energy.
