New flashing signs at Rail Trail crossing on Grove St

"New Rectangular Rapid Flashing Beacons (RRFBs) are now installed at the Grove Street trailhead. These signs are similar to what were installed at the Center Street trailhead, and should increase pedestrian safety. 

The FBRTC is also working to get similar RRFBs installed at the Lake Street trailhead."
