The Park Board on Wednesday approved a request to install a permanent wayfinding sign at Brittland Park along the Quickasheen bike path as part of the Echoes of the Pekasset and the Quicocheen River cultural project.

Project organizers, including a historian for the Picasset tribe and Fall River Arts partners, described the multi-site initiative celebrating indigenous and local river history and asked the board for a letter of support and permission to place one consolidated sign that summarizes the overall project for trail users. Parks staff agreed to work with the applicants on logistics and siting and discussed options for a nearby seating area; the board approved the sign placement and encouraged coordination with Darren Maderas for installation and maintenance.

Commissioners noted the trail has existing signage in places but that many signs were faded or damaged, and they welcomed the effort to consolidate historical context in a prominent, durable sign.
