Adams Open Space and Recreation Plan Survey

Print Story | Email Story
ADAMS, Mass. — The Town of Adams invites the public to participate in a Survey informing the Adams Open Space and Recreation Plan. 
 
The Survey is available via SurveyMonkey. Town residents and visitors to the town are asked to weigh in on priorities for open space planning in the coming 10 years.
 
The survey is open through Dec. 1, 2025.
 
The survey asks respondents a variety of questions including demographic information, recreation and conservation needs and desires, parks improvements they would like to see in the town, what recreational facilities they use, and what policies the Town should enact to accomplish those things.
 
"Having a current Open Space and Recreation Plan makes the town eligible for Massachusetts State grant programs through the Executive Office of Energy and Environmental Affairs such as the PARC Grant (Parkland Acquisitions and Renovations for Communities),” said Seth Jenkins, senior community planner for Berkshire Regional Planning Commission.
 
The Town is working with staff from the Berkshire Regional Planning Commission to develop the Open Space and Recreation Plan.

Cheshire Considers Making Flaherty One-Way; Police Chief Update

By Sabrina DammsiBerkshires Staff
CHESHIRE, Mass. — Town officials are considering making Flaherty Road one way following requests from street residents. 
 
The road is a short narrow residential street that connects the start of Wells Road and the end of East Main Street. 
 
There are a total of five residents on the street and two have come forward with the request claiming that their neighbors all agree to the change, Corey McGrath, public works director, told the Select Board last week. 
 
The residents explained that a one-way street would make the area safer because the bridge on Windsor Road restricts visibility. 
 
The change would make the street a one-way heading towards Wells Road, McGrath said. 
 
He said he has not talked to all of the residents personally but wanted to start the process of considering it as long as there is an understanding that plowing the street would still be done both ways. 
 
"It is a bus route. When there's a car on it, it's a mess," McGrath said.
