Disability Commission Submits $12,800 AARP Accessibility Grant

Commission on Disability · Meeting of March 9, 2026

Tyngsborough Commission on Disability pushes $12,800 grant for accessible doors, presses town on ride access. Sean Walsh of the Select Board's Office told the commission he submitted an AARP grant application for automatic doors at the Center for Active Living, Old Town Hall and the police station, and said a state-funded sidewalk-mapping project remains on track despite weather delays. Members spent much of the meeting revising a new public brochure, including swapping "Town of Tyngsborough" text for the town seal.

A member identified as Meg said Roadrunner van service falls short of what she was told, calling rides "a big issue for me" and citing repeated trouble getting to Town Meeting. Vice Chair Peter Moore asked the town for a second curb cut after one went unshoveled during an election, and Clerk Karen Wolf raised a similar long-walk concern at the elementary school polling site. Minutes were approved unanimously.
