The project turned an inactive rail corridor into a multi-use trail built directly above a new underground electric transmission line. During excavation, crews uncovered a buried historic cattle pass, which required coordination with the US Army Corps of Engineers and the Massachusetts Historical Commission to realign the utility duct bank.https://nanopress.net/sudbury-ma/briefs/2026-10-08https://nanopress.net/sudbury-ma/briefs/2026-10-08Thu, 08 Oct 2026 12:00:00 +0000The town opens sealed bids at 10 a.m. Thursday for a Complete Streets upgrade of the Concord Road crosswalk and sidewalk at Goodnow Library, a project with an estimated value of $116,737.50.

Assistant Town Manager and Finance Director Victor Garofalo stressed the designs are preliminary, and said the town will not move to advanced design unless the Community Preservation Committee advances the funding application to Annual Town Meeting in 2027. One challenge is that the parking lot sits close to wetlands and may not hold all cars if all three fields are in use at once.https://nanopress.net/sudbury-ma/briefs/2026-10-06https://nanopress.net/sudbury-ma/briefs/2026-10-06Tue, 06 Oct 2026 12:00:00 +0000The draft Open Space & Recreation Plan is now available for residents to review.
