Commission flags underutilized town lands and considers trail development
Summary
Commissioners noted substantial underused town property and raised the idea of creating ATV/4x4 trail networks and improving trail connectivity; they asked staff to add town recreation-committee references and leave individual names out of the plan.
Members pointed out that the town owns sizeable tracts of underutilized land and suggested exploring recreational uses such as ATV and 4x4 trail networks to increase access and use. One commissioner said the town has about 240 acres of underused property and proposed evaluating trail connections to the Ridge Trail and Vision Rail.
The commission also asked to add a non-personal reference to the town recreation committee in the plan and to avoid naming individuals in the text so that the plan remains durable as personnel change. Staff agreed to update the recreation section and to include the town committee rather than an individual's name.
