Please don’t pave these beautiful trails through the woods.

The natural beauty of these trails are best preserved if they do not receive a coating of unnatural blacktop.

Do NOT pave the trails. So much easier on the body and mind to have a soft surface.

Softer trails are better for joints and therefore healthier!!!

Keep the trail in a more wooded natural state. Our roads are in dire need of being paved. Save the asphalt for the streets.

The soft trail fits better into the environment of the trails. No hard surfaces, please.

Incredibly unsustainable to pave trails...poor for stormwater management, heat island effect, will heave with frosts defeating the purpose of paving and require costly maintenance. Not to mention hard on runners and dogs. Keep it pervious!

Please pave the roads, not the trails. Trails are in fine condition, walkable and rideable by old and young alike. No need to use time, energy, money and resources on this. Will actually detract from the experience of the trails in my view.

Allocate extra funding to lengthening and improving trails but please don’t use that funding to pave them.

I don't see the need? Fixing the pavement on the roads, I am all for that.

As well as being more environmentally friendly, keeping the trails unpaved offers lower impact for the runners and walkers who use and enjoy them daily.

It is unnecessary to pave the trails. Please preserve them so we can continue to use and appreciate the natural trails.

There is enough pavement in Hopkinton already. Trails should not be paved.

There is enough pavement everywhere. We don't need nature trails paved. Put the dollars to better use.
