North Adams Bike Trail Hearing Repeats Past Debates

Opponents and proponents of the planned Mohawk Bike Path held forth on Wednesday at a standing-room-only hearing at the North Adams City Hall.

IBerkshires.com reports that many of the arguments at the state Department of Transportation public hearing were repeats from past hearings.

Abutters on Chenaille Terrace had asserted the bike path on city land would be detrimental to their neighborhood.

Project manager David Shedd, Greenman-Pedersen Inc. transportation engineer Matthew Kearney, and other MassDOT representatives explained the project and took public comment.
