An exclusion on heavy trucks on Golden Cove Road is unlikely thanks to advice given to the Chelmsford Board of Selectmen received from the Northern Middlesex Council of Governments.

How many? Does it really matter? Is there a quota? If its none, we want to keep it that way. If it's 1, that's 1 too many. Personally, I have almost hit several crossing the bike trail.
