EASTHAMPTON — The Manhan Rail Trail Committee approved two NaloxBoxes on the trail. Emma Reilly, a police department social worker with the city's Drug Addiction and Recovery Team, presented the proposal, and members voted unanimously for boxes at the Union Street and Route 5 kiosks. The committee also formed a bicycle and pedestrian subcommittee, planned a letter of concern about a Union Street sculpture pad, and discussed a 20-foot privacy fence near a Lovefield Street memorial bench.

Members said resource limits, not poor relations, slow city maintenance, including brush cutting.
