The drainage project would replace an undersized pipe network, realign a stream, and add features intended to reduce neighborhood flooding. Engineers said a flow-control vault would prevent increased downstream flows, but residents raised concerns about larger storms and construction easements. The Commission also approved environmental compliance certificates for completed Whitney Carriage work, issued conditions for 163 Pioneer Drive, and declined to support a request related to redevelopment at 100 Commercial Road.
