So many benefits...so good for body & soul. Thank you MPO, & may the BFRT continue to be extended for all to enjoy!

Please finish this important project. Safety and outdoor usage is so important. This was reinforced roundly through our quarentine year.

I strongly support the inclusion of phase 2D; Sudbury needs more recreational biking opportunities! I used to live in Lexington; we had the Minuteman Rail Trail, but it was also far easier to ride in the streets due to wider shoulders. The Concord portion of this trail is beautiful; I'd like to see this become a reality!

I've been on this trail many times coming from Nashua. Now that I live in RI it would be great to start the trail from the South. Framingham would be great!!

I really enjoy walking and riding my bike on the BFRT in Concord, and look forward to being able to take longer walks and rides in this safe environment.

adding the Sudbury portion of BFRT would allow me to commute by bike to work safely

We need this trail completed. When you build it, they will come!

A great trail to ride, and one that can only become better.

I see the increasing amount of use for this trail as time passes. I think it should be extended through Sudbury to Framingham to accomodate the many people who could access from these areas. What has been accomplished so far has opened up a great opportunity for more people enjoy the world outside by walking and biking.

This has been in planning stages for SO LONG. Let's make it happen before I get too old to use it. I am 75 and counting on many good years to ride this trail in Sudbury.

The Bruce Freeman Rail Trail is such a wonderful project, it really improves the communities it goes through. Please fund the continuation.

This is a precious asset for bicyclists, runners and walkers in the Merrimack Valley. I just love riding my bike on this trail.

Hooray!!! Hurry up and fund it so it can be built and I can have a safe off-road place to ride my bike and the health benefits of riding.

Concord has some 30 miles of unpaved trails but the BFRT is the only paved trail. It will be a boon not just for bicycle transit but also for handicapped people who are unable to navigate narrow, twisting, root-filled dirt paths. People all along the length of the BFRT should get these benefits. Please include all the remaining phases!

Imagine: Framingham, Sudbury, Concord, . . . folks being able to bicycle safely to (eventually) the Merrimack River!

The trail brings tremendous benefits to our community. Healthy, ecology, business, tourism etc. Let's get it done!!

As a frequent user of the Phase 1 trail. I'd very much like to see the completion of the Phase 2 trail. I use the trail as an avid runner and will be biking onto the Phase 2 trail, when completed, as time allows.

RailTrails keep bikers and pedestrians safer, and make the roads safer for cars & trucks. Win-win!!
