Committee explores rerouting Bay Circuit Trail to link Three Rivers Basin and Hathaway Preserve
Summary
Staff met with Bay Circuit Trail Coordinator Amber Stearns to discuss moving the BCT off Grove Street by connecting Three Rivers Basin and Hathaway Preserve; staff said the connection is challenging because it would cross railroad tracks and wetlands and a spring site visit is planned.
Assistant Conservation Agent Georgianna Minenna told the committee she and Conservation Agent Matt Penella met with Bay Circuit Trail Coordinator Amber Stearns to discuss the possibility of rerouting a segment of the Bay Circuit Trail away from Grove Street by connecting trails between Three Rivers Basin and Hathaway Preserve. Minenna said the proposal faces a significant constraint: “that connection is challenging because it involves crossing the railroad tracks and wetland areas.” A site visit with the coordinator is planned for the spring to evaluate feasibility.
Minenna also reported Amber Stearns offered to recruit volunteers for Earth Day events if Kingston is interested; the committee discussed bringing those volunteers in for annual town cleanup events. No formal decision was made on the routing or funding at the meeting.
