Help us get access to the bike path from Blaisdell Road! Millions of taxpayers' dollars have gone into creating the Bruce Freemen Rail Trail. It promotes good health, keeps our children safe from busy streets, increases our property values, increases local commerce, helps our environment, and brings our community together. Unfortunately Blaisdell Road and the families from the surrounding neighborhoods are fenced out and kept from accessing this great community resource. We are told that town hearings were held and the decision to fence off Blaisdell was made back in 1998. Many people did not know about the hearings and many new families have moved into the area in the past 11 years. We are trying to get a current count of the people that would utilize access to the trail through Blaisdell Rd. If that sounds like you, please help and sign this petition. The more signatures we have, the greater our chances of Chelmsford officials reevaluating Blasdell access and unlocking the gate.

I logged on this morning and the momentum is just wild honestly because I never really expected things to move this quickly. Seeing all these names makes me think that maybe we really can get them to look at that stupid gate again since it feels like the whole neighborhood finally woke up.

We live right here and just want to walk our dog on the path. Why make it so hard for residents??

The fence makes no sense. Chelmsford needs to get with the times and let us use the trail we pay for.

Total waste of time keeping that gate locked. Fix this.

my kids would use this every single day during the summer. so much safer then biking on the main road.

Ridiculous that we have to drive to get to a trail that is basically in our backyard. Open it up already.
