BPAC schedules April cleanup, flags Golden Cove Road crossing safety
Summary
Chelmsford BPAC set a trail cleanup for April 18 at Crosspoint Towers and discussed right-of-way confusion and potential improvements at the Golden Cove Road crossing, agreeing to consult DPW for solutions.
The Chelmsford Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Committee scheduled a trail cleanup event for April 18 (rain date April 19) from 8:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. at Crosspoint Towers; J. Warhurst will create a signup sheet for volunteers.
Members raised safety concerns about the Golden Cove Road crossing, noting right-of-way confusion that may put trail users at risk. The committee agreed to take the issue to the Department of Public Works for further review and potential engineering or signage solutions.
The minutes also record a general update on trail maintenance: conditions are largely good, but committee members have observed increased use of electric motorcycles on trails, a trend they noted for future monitoring and possible enforcement or policy conversation.
No formal votes were taken on safety measures at this meeting; the committee assigned follow-up tasks to coordinate with DPW and to organize the cleanup.
