Need continuity of Reformatory Branch trail into Concord Center, West Concord, and points west... the Minuteman Path to Bedford and continuation on the Reformatory Branch toward Concord is nice.. but connect it to the Freeman Trail and you've got progress.

Crossing of Rte. 2 with bike or walking is dangerous.

I love the Umbrella Community Arts Center! So much to see and do! A wonderful cultural resource.

The Concord Scout House is a beautiful place. It should continue to receive support and maintenance from the Town. Folk dancing run by the New England Folk Festival Association on Thursdays brings many visitors to Concord.

I agree. While consultants need to earn their salary (I know, I was one for many years), they are only necessary when the competence does not exist within the existing community. Concord clearly has the capability to do this work using its own citizens, many of whom are experts in their own right.

If the concern is having an “independent” lens, then a neutral facilitator to ensure balanced representation and time would make sense, but not to run the show.

CLRPC should take charge: The CLRPC needs to run its own public hearings as required by its charge and should not substitute consultant- led gatherings in their place. The CLRPC, not consultant, should formulate initial draft plan. Otherwise change the committee's charge to at least factually reflect what is happening . More public attendance at committee meetings is encouraged.

I think that bike trails and sidewalks that can take us from one business area to another and to all of our wonderful conservation lands and wildlife preserves are much be desired. We want these areas to be accessible; but we also want to reduce automobile traffic.

Well said

Scheduling a meeting between 10:00 AM to 3:00 PM on a Friday is contrary to the goals of engaging as many residents as possible. Residents working normal business hours will find attending this meeting difficult. The meeting time of Saturday from 9:30 AM to 12:30 PM is marginally better. But many people, especially adults with children in sports and other activities, will find it difficult to attend. I understand that finding times for meetings is always difficult. However, these times seem especially challenging.

Please devise a management plan for open spaces that includes rangers who patrol our conservation land and educate people about the importance of respecting wildlife and the land itself. The program at White Pond was very successful and needs to be continued especially with the bike trail construction. Since Concord is a tourist town and thousands of people visit our conservation land, the town must have a plan in place to ensure the preservation and protection of these lands. I am also in favor of dog walking restrictions so that dogs do not run freely through the woods disturbing wildlife and other visitors. Many conservation areas in other towns already have stricter regulations than we do. The dog owners have been vocal but please remember there are also many of us who are in favor of reasonable limits. A dog park also seems like a logical solution.

Bring trees back to Commonwealth Avenue! Old photos depict a tree-lined street. Our modern street has limited shade and is designed around how many cars we can park along it. It's a great town but could be a more beautiful and useful one.
