WINCHESTER - 2024 was quite the year nationally, with a presidential election, the summer olympics and foreign disputes dominating the headlines. Locally, Winchester made its own waves.
The first trams will hit tracks to Burleigh in September 2025 – and arrive in the suburb by early 2026 – as work ramps up in a final 18-month build phase on delayed light rail Stage 3.
The city is pulling up the tracks running down the middle of Lakewood Avenue — which once served candy factories, lumber yards, strawberry farms and baseball fans — to replace sewer lines.
