Douglas - Upton - Uxbridge - Sutton
Scenic roads are often located in the Mass Scenic Inventory
(DEM) as well as voted
on at Town Meeting by a super majority (2/3) vote. Not every Town in the Valley
officially recognizes scenic roads, but that appears to be changing as
development is being constructed on lots never imagined.
Douglas Scenic Roads: Church Street from Common St to
NW main (approved 5/16/98), Common Street from Main St to Main St
(voted 5/16/98), Northwest Main Street from Common St to Church St
(5/126/98), Orange Street from Pine St to Rhode line (5/13/78) and
probably Oak Street to be voted 5/03 TM
