Committee discusses narrow sidewalk widening to enable shared-use path to elementary school

Greg (joined mid-meeting) presented options to improve bike access to Deerfield Elementary School, arguing that the critical impediment is the narrow sidewalk on Pleasant Street. He proposed widening the sidewalk by roughly a foot to create a shared-use path and suggested the town might rebrand a narrow corridor as an 'emergency vehicle access' or 'shared use' route to achieve a similar outcome without encroaching on private land.
