Attending your annual town meeting is a great way to support
the Bruce Freeman Rail Trail efforts and very important action
to make sure the trail is funded and gets built.
Use your
vote to support the BFRT!
On Monday
night April 4 2005, Sudbury and Acton started their Annual
Town Meetings. Each
Town has a vote on whether Community Preservation Act (CPA)
funds should be allocated to the Bruce Freeman Rail Trail
(BFRT) on their Town Warrant. In
Sudbury it was $25,000 to conduct a Feasibility Study. In
Acton it was $75,000 to work on initial tasks instrumental
to the design process. Both articles passed: in Acton unanimously,
in Sudbury after a long debate and close vote.
In Acton, the Board of Selectmen, the Planning Committee,
the Transportation Committee, the Land Stewards, and, of
course, the Community Preservation (Act) Committee have all
given their formal or informal support.
There will be other meetings, committee meetings, public
meetings, and more opportunitues to publicaly show your supports
for the BFRT. Join the FBRFT and keep informed.
Another way
to Speak Out is to contact your state and local reps know
that you're in favor of the rail trail and ask them to support
funding and other state level activities to move these projects
ahead.
