Charrette Planned for Rail Trail; And What the Heck is a Charrette?

Want to help design the Bruce Freeman Rail Trail?

SUDBURY, MA—Let's first get this out of the way. A charrette is an intensive, collaborative planning event where citizens, property owners, community organizations, business owners, employees, visitors, customers, planners, consultants and shareholders collaborate on a plan or vision.

That said, a design charrette is planned for the Bruce Freeman Rail Trail on Thursday, Aug. 25, from 6-8 p.m., at the Sudbury Town Hall.

Talk about what vistas should be showcased, amenities that should be considered, best parking locations, bike trail connections, and more.
