Cemetery trail access up for discussion in Lebanon

LEBANON City officials are considering whether to build a path alongside the Sacred Heart and Valley cemeteries to connect Pine Tree Cemetery Road with the Mascoma River Greenway after reports of bicyclists and pedestrians crossing burial plots to access the rail trail surfaced this summer.
A path along the western edge of the cemeteries near the Renihan Meadows property line could keep people off graves while also providing access to the Greenway, according to Lebanon Recreation Director Paul Coates.
He put forward a plan last month that would see volunteers build a small trail from Pine Tree Cemetery Road to the 2.3-mile, paved multi-purpose Greenway, which connects downtown to the larger, 58-mile Northern Rail Trail.
