It was requested that four streets exclude commercial trucks in town, but only Collins was granted the OK.
Last November, Town Engineer Fred Litchfield submitted a proposal to the Massachusetts Department of Transportation to request that Ridge Road, Collins Road, Maple and Brigham Streets exclude commercial trucks. Collins Road easily met the criteria required by Mass DOT to grant the exclusion, and it ultimately is the only street that will exclude trucks. Though disappointed, Litchfield requested that the Board of Selectmen approve the movement to proceed with Mass DOT's recommendation of a Collins Road exclusion only. "We were hoping for a common sense approach that they would allow for truck exclusion on all four streets, and they did not," said Litchfield. Ten warning signs that read "Commercial Vehicles Over 2.5 Tons Excluded From …

The Board of Selectmen met Monday night and discussed a Wegman's entertainment license as well as an amendment to JJ's license.
You didn't miss a heck of a lot this week, but the board did cover a bit of ground.
