Controversy surrounding the Beewalt Trail has sparked significant discussion among Southborough Trails Committee members, who are eager to clarify their position. During a recent meeting, committee members addressed misinformation suggesting that Southborough does not support the trail project. One member emphasized, “We never said we weren't in support,” highlighting the need to correct the narrative that has emerged from Westborough.

The committee acknowledged that while they are open to collaboration with the newly formed Friends of Westborough BWALT group, they are currently focused on completing their existing projects. “Our committee is currently full. We can't take on new projects until we finish this project,” one member stated, underscoring the importance of prioritizing their current workload before considering any new initiatives.

Looking ahead, the committee is planning to meet again on May 6 to discuss updates and potentially receive bids related to their ongoing projects. The decision to hold the next meeting on a Tuesday was made to accommodate members' schedules, with a backup date of May 13 also considered.

As the committee navigates these discussions, they remain committed to supporting the Beewalt Trail while ensuring their current projects are completed efficiently. The next meeting promises to be pivotal as they continue to address both community concerns and project timelines.
