During the recent Southborough Trails Committee meeting, members discussed the potential addition of a second bench along the town's ADA-compliant trail. This initiative aims to enhance accessibility for residents with mobility challenges, providing necessary rest stops for those who may need to sit while enjoying the outdoors.

The committee noted that adding another bench could be feasible within their existing budget, which is estimated to be around $500. This funding could allow for the purchase of the bench if there are sufficient funds remaining in their annual budget for the year.

The conversation highlighted the importance of creating inclusive spaces in Southborough, ensuring that all residents can enjoy the town's trails comfortably. The committee's focus on accessibility reflects a broader commitment to community needs and enhancing public spaces for everyone.

As the committee continues to evaluate its budget and priorities, the potential addition of the bench stands as a small but significant step toward making Southborough's trails more welcoming for all residents.
