The draft plan will guide future parks, trails, recreation facilities, accessibility improvements, and possible land acquisitions. It is not final; the Planning Board, Recreation Committee, Accessibility Commission, River Committee, and others will review revisions before the Select Board considers it again in about 4–6 weeks. The Board also approved an Arbor Day proclamation and a consent calendar, while the Town Manager reported upcoming water-main work on Wenham Street and Wellesley Road.
