During the West Concord Advisory Committee meeting on October 5, 2024, a significant concern emerged regarding the safety and functionality of a set of stairs adjacent to a grassy area overlooking Commonwealth Avenue. Committee members discussed the deteriorating condition of the stairs, which have been deemed non-functional and potentially hazardous.

One member highlighted previous conversations with Elizabeth, who expressed skepticism about the prospects for repairs or renovations. The area is challenging for construction, raising doubts about any immediate solutions. This discussion underscores ongoing safety issues in the community and the need for careful consideration of infrastructure improvements.

As the committee continues to address these concerns, the fate of the stairs remains uncertain, leaving residents to navigate the risks associated with this neglected area. The committee's next steps will be crucial in determining how to enhance safety and accessibility in West Concord.
