There are many neighborhoods without bike path or sidewalks so there is no way to bike during the winter..

I beg that the town builds a walkway or path to keep pedestrians safe. Truthfully, there is no safe way to get from Harrington Ave neighborhood to downtown West Concord. Think about a mother pushing a stroller, a kid wanting to get an ice cream, joggers/runners/walkers or just commuters who would love to take the train and not own a 2nd car... or families that could walk downtown for a bite or soccer matches at cousins park... if the path is too expensive, just build a path and a bridge over the river! I hope we don't need to wait for an accident to be understood.

I have two young kids on that side of West Concord who will be eventually going to Thoreau... I want them to be active and consider biking to school but would be extremely nervous about them biking on the main roads. Having a bridge connecting those areas would prevent them from having to bike on busy roads to school... there are a ton of kids in my neighborhood

and a sidewalk along Harrington Ave would be nice - especially if there were a bridge connecting the two areas - then kids could bike safely along that section of road to the bridge...

Add a sidewalk to Harrington Ave and build a bridge over Assabet river connecting Harrington Park to Cousins Park so kids can walk safely to school, and neighbors can walk to West Concord, reduce traffic and reduce accident risks.

Add a bike lane or sidewalk on Harrington Ave. Even having Marshalls Farm where many neighbors could ealk, they have to drive because Harrington Ave is a very dangerous road. Commuters drive at crazy speeds and bypass runners, bikers, pedestrians and even little kids on bikes. My kids got yelled at multiple times and I am afraid this won't be a priority until someone gets ran over. All this West concord community could walk to downtown West Concord and Thoreau school if only we had a safe way/ path to walk on...

A bus between Acton's business areas, Concord and West Concord would be a great way of getting rid of 1 of 2 cars in a family. Specially because you can bike in the summer, but not in the winter...
