Appointment Application

On March 21, 2023, the Select Board updated the mission statement and renamed the BFRT Advisory Task Force as the Rail Trails Advisory Committee. This committee was initially established by the Board of Selectmen on September 9, 2016, amended December 6, 2016 and November 4, 2020. The Rail Trails Advisory Committee is intended to advise the Select Board and the Town Manager to assist in advancing the design, development, construction, and long-term maintenance of the Trail.

More…

The Select Board is looking to this committee to gather information and thereby help guide the Board and Town staff in making thoughtful decisions that:

(1) are respectful and responsive to residents’ concerns, including those of abutters, businesses, trail advocates, and future users;

(2) support Sudbury’s longstanding commitment to protect the natural environment; and

(3) result from an open and transparent process.

The Town recognizes the partnership with Massachusetts Department of Transportation (MassDOT), for the Trail to be built with State and Federal funding through the Boston Metropolitan Planning Organization (Boston MPO) and through a long-term lease agreement, as other towns on the BFRT north of Sudbury have done.
