WASA sponsors annual ‘Ice Out’ Challenge

the center of town.

Some residents agreed with Planning Board member Joseph Thomas in asking the developers to reduce the number of units and lower the density along the Hascall Street side.

“Our street is dangerous now,” said resident John Scott, who lives on Hascall Street.

Several residents said that Beal Commons was “the wrong development” for Shrewsbury Center.

Charles Garabedian said the town was “giving away” open space.

The developer is waiting on additional information, such as police crash data, the location of a bus shelter, bicycle parking spaces, and pedestrian safety enhancements. Once that information is available, it will be added to the plan revisions.

The next public hearing for Beal Commons is scheduled for Thursday, Feb. 2, at 7 p.m. at Shrewsbury High School.

By a curious law, if you give joy, you get joy back. Tomorrow, when you leave your home, say to the first person you can find to talk to, “How are you? Nice to see you.” Go on spreading joy all day, and you will go home at night with such a deposit of joy in your life as you never had before.
