Cochituate Rail Trail connection to downtown #Natick and the Natick commuter rail station expected later this year

https://www.facebook.com/share/p/ApFnfLwqL3ECA5jJ/

Next step should be making sure people can bike safely from their homes to a trail entrance. Biking through McGrath Square in #Framingham to the #Saxonville trail entrance is somewhat harrowing. A bike lane is planned when the intersection is re-done, possibly next year, although only a painted one.

Metam0re is looking for vendors/artists for Summer Id0l Jam 2024, to be held on July 27th in Framingham, MA. It's a free entry single day idol-themed con-type event, mainly featuring idol showcases (plural!!! :mexcitedmiku: ), singing, and a cosplay contest. Last year's was easily one of the most fun events of the year. They're looking to grow it out a lot this year, in one way by having a market area for vendors. (Because we clearly need another way to spend money on merch. The Miku pin I bought at the artist alley last weekend was a need, it was Miku day! :leafeonmoney: ) Figure I should post about it here since word tends to spread mainly on instagram, but there are a decent number of fanartists and folks in the Northeast US/Boston-area specifically on Fedi!
