An Act authorizing the town of North Reading to use a portion of conservation land for public way purposes

This bill authorizes the town of North Reading to transfer control of a small 533-square-foot parcel of conservation land to the town's select board for general municipal use. The specific provision allows the town to utilize this land to repair and maintain a highway bridge and drainage facilities that serve the adjacent public road. By moving the land from the conservation commission to general municipal management, the town gains the flexibility to address infrastructure needs without violating conservation laws. The legislation applies directly to the town of North Reading and its local governing bodies.
