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.)

Google maps certainly knows about the stairs from Somerville Ave under the tracks; I filed a bug against bike directions suggesting it wasn't a very quick bike route.

It's arguably better than Park St or waiting for the Mossland light, though.

I suggested they count this route as taking a minute or two longer, though, which might in fact still make it a viable alternate route depending on where you're going.

I can ride a pretty long way in that amount of time, personally, so I'd argue your point in my case. But I won't attempt to generalize. :-)
