( WBZ NewsRadio ) — When a local teenager and Boy Scout from Peabody was choosing his Eagle Scout project, he thought about ways he could give back to the community. Aiden Walsh, age 17, ultimately made the decision to address a problem he frequently encountered growing up. having to travel across the wet Peabody Independence Greenway to Lalikos Park. The road is extremely unsafe for bicycles, scooters, strollers, anything other than using two feet, especially with boots in. Aiden claimed that he frequently needed to carry his bicycle to cross the road properly. ” The clay way… is extremely difficult to go through,” he said. But Aiden made the decision to hire some construction experts who would construct a footbridge over the trail so that pedestrians could cross it properly. The job is being overseen by a near friend who works in design. Aiden’s uncle is helping out to. This week, they hope to finish the project that will transform a filthy trench into a healthy pathway.
