Residents Invited to Attend Northern Strand Community Trail Second Public Meeting
(Saugus, MA) October 30, 2018 – Town Manager Scott Crabtree would like to invite Saugus residents and officials to attend the second public meeting on the Northern Strand Community Trail to learn about and discuss elements of the project’s preliminary design. This public meeting will take place on Wednesday, November 7, 2018 at 6:30 p.m. in the Town Hall auditorium.
The meeting, hosted by the Town of Saugus in conjunction with the Executive Office of Energy and Environmental Affairs and landscape architect firm Brown, Richardson + Rowe, Inc., is the second in a series of public meetings for the Town’s 2.5-mile portion of the project. The first meeting, which was held earlier this year, gave residents an initial opportunity to learn about the project, ask questions, and share ideas.
The Northern Strand Community Trail project is part of a commitment of at least $1.5 million by the Baker-Polito Administration to fund designs for the trail in Saugus, Everett, Lynn, Malden, and Revere. The funding, awarded through the Executive Office of Energy and Environmental Affairs’ Gateway City Parks Program, enables the design of the trail, development of bid-ready construction documents, and receipt of all necessary construction permits.
When completed, the trail will span 10.5 miles through Saugus, Everett, Lynn, Malden, and Revere.
“We hope residents will join us to learn more about this important community project and use this opportunity to comment on the preliminary trail design,” said Town Manager Crabtree.
Safer crossings, wayfinding, and landscape amenities are major components of the improvement project.
“This public meeting is the second step for this project. The more the design team is able to learn about the community’s needs, the better the project will be for residents and the Town of Saugus overall,” concluded Town Manager Crabtree.
The Northern Strand Community Trail second public meeting will take place on Wednesday, November 7, 2018, at 6:30 p.m. in the Town Hall Auditorium, located at 298 Central Street in Saugus.
