Summary: The current design of the multipurpose field at 60 Cedar St has led Recreation to the need to present to the Town a comprehensive plan of the Cedar Recreation Area. This funding will address the additional site work needed for 60 Cedar Street as recommended by Planning and Conservation to move the project forward. This funding will also create a vision plan/concept plan for Cedar Recreation Area. The engineering will include borings, renderings, cost estimates, traffic impact assessment, and will provide three conceptual options to the community. Lastly, this funding will also review a parcel identified at 3 New Boston Road Extension for a potential Dog Park. These plans will benefit Recreation and the community by putting together a comprehensive plan for Recreation’s needs.
