The recent government meeting highlighted the success of the ongoing yoga sessions on local trails, which have seen increased attendance and positive community engagement. The sessions, led by instructor Emma, are part of a series sponsored by the local government, offering six free classes throughout the summer months. The consistent scheduling and location have proven beneficial in attracting participants, with more than ten attendees reported for the latest session.

In addition to the yoga initiative, discussions also focused on the development of a new bike route aimed at enhancing connectivity between Southborough and Marlborough. Transportation specialist David Lautzenheiser from the Metropolitan Area Planning Council (MAPC) presented a proposed route that spans over seven miles through quiet neighborhoods and existing roadways. This route is designed to facilitate safe biking access, with plans to incorporate bike lanes in areas where traffic is present.

The proposed bike path, tentatively named the Assabet to Southborough Greenway, aims to connect to the Assabet Road Trail, marking a significant step in expanding biking infrastructure in the region. Collaboration with Marlborough and MAPC will be essential for securing funding for signage and promotional materials to raise awareness of the new route.

Overall, the meeting underscored the community's commitment to promoting outdoor activities and improving transportation options, reflecting a proactive approach to enhancing local quality of life.
