John Harvard’s just hosted a meeting of the Cochituate Rail Trail and their back function room was SRO.

Slowly, but surely the trail is evolving.

Support from John Harvard’s who donate’s proceeds from their Rail Trail Ale ( over $ 4300 this batch) and from REI were acknowledged.

As the DPW has determined that it would be easier and less expensive to run replacement sewer lines along the proposed trail route, the trail is being incorporated into a plan to build the trail as the sewer line is put in place.  A real serendipity.  And the funding may come through an economic stimulus package.

Instead of ripping up roadways, and causing detours and traffic interruptions, the construction of the new sewer lines would take place behind the scenes while enhancing the community by adding the rail trail.

This proposal brings the tFramingham part of the trail a lot closer to reality.
