Upper Charles Trail
In 2012, the Town of Hopkinton established the
Upper
Charles Trail Committee (UCTC) and charged it with developing
Hopkinton's portion of this trail. The trail will eventually link five
towns - Hopkinton, Milford, Holliston, Sherborn,
Ashland. Hopkinton's portion will connect to the sections in Milford
(completed) and Ashland (design underway).
The Committee released their proposed route for the Hopkinton
portion
of the trail in August 2021. The Trails Club had concerns about aspects
of the proposal and developed an
alternative proposal for a portion of the route. Links to the UCTC's
proposal and the Trails Club's suggested alternative are below:
On December 8, 2021, the UCTC held their first public forum to present their
proposed route and to take questions and comments. Information about
that meeting is below:
We urge the public to remain involved in following this project and
providing feedback. The UCTC meets regularly - usually the 1st &
3rd Wednesday of each month. Visit the
Hopkinton town website
and
scroll down to the Events Calendar for meeting details. Click the
"more details" link for the remote link and agenda (may not be
available until close to the meeting date). HCAM streams the UCTC meetings on their channel (Comast 8, Verizon 30) and on
YouTube, and
recordings of the meetings are also available through HCAM.
The Hopkinton Independent usually provides summaries of the meetings as well.
