Obscure Stairways and Ramps of Somerville
A few weeks ago, I created this Google Map:
Obscure Stairways and Ramps of Somerville
It shows various stairways and ramps that pedestrians can use to walk between places that aren't directly connected by streets. If you know a Somerville stairway or ramp that isn't on my map, please comment here and I'll try to add it.
(Also, if someone can show me how to zoom the map out and have Google Maps save that state, I'd appreciate it.)

And wow, that staircase (http://bit.ly/d3bGVw) looks like it belongs in the dictionary next to "sketchy shortcut". (Nice.)

It's not in Somerville, so it might not be relevant to this project, but there's a useful staircase between the Arlington Trader Joe's and the Minuteman Bikeway. I can't figure out how to get Google Maps to show the back of the parking lot, to look at the stairway. A couple of blocks away (in the direction of Arlington Center) there's an unmarked accessible pass-through from the bikeway, to the parking lot of Sunrise Assisted Living, to Mass Ave.
