MACOG's counter network and condition survey, as reached
The region counts its trail users; the counts are real, regional, and none of them is Lakeville's — and printing them in this section, labelled, is what the checklist's count test can honestly yield for this town. The figures, from MACOG's own record: the 2050 long-range plan reports a network of permanent trail counters — ten of them — and over 700,000 trail users counted through 2022; the 2023–24 condition report surveyed over 120 miles of trail. The counters stand on the system's built segments, which the Story of Lakeville section article places in the northern cities; no counter stands in or near Lakeville, because there is no trail to count on. The town's own walking count is of a different kind and stands in the culture file: Newton Park's one-mile paved path, uncounted by any instrument in the record. The residue is named: a Lakeville figure could exist only in the town's own active-transportation planning counts, if any were taken — the town's MACOG plan record is the settler — and none stands in the record reached. This item closes mixed: the regional use counted and cited, the town's use uncounted, the distinction printed rather than blurred.
