Past President Jean Goldsberry chairs the Concord Commission on Disabilities. Who better to tell us about it? The Committee was established "to promote the inclusion and integration of persons with disabilities in the activities, services and employment opportunities of the community." Past projects include review of parking facilities at Walden Pond, input to MBTA about inaccessibility at Concord train stop, and review of Lowell Road Boat Launch and CCHS fields, and renovations at First Parish Church. These examples are but a few of the many projects undertaken by the Committee. Currently they are working with the library to assure accessible handicap parking tor the new facility and with the town to assure safety and accessibility to Junction Park as the Bruce Freeman Trail increases bike traffic there. The Committee works to increase awareness of disability issues, and encourages the provision of clearer info for people with cognitive impairments. Thanks, Jean for telling us about this important work.
