To the Editor:
Friends of Bike Path ask Town residents to attend Town Meeting on May 13th and support all Town Meeting Articles that impact road and safety infrastructure. Road networks must be upgraded periodically to meet economic, environmental, and safety conditions that arise every 20 to 50 years. Design work must be done first to ensure an optimal plan. Town staff, officials, and committees have been carefully considering our needs, grant funding opportunities, and options. They have put forward the priorities that we can afford. Quality of life depends on the network of roads and trails that get us to work, school, etc. and allow us to maintain our health through safe walking, running, or biking.
