What this means

The Harmony Manor project did not receive final approval and must address engineering concerns before returning to Council. Discussion included traffic safety, possible well contamination, recreation access, school-bus access, and future sidewalks. Council also approved zoning changes intended to make a school entrance safer and adopted new requirements for fire-hydrant fittings and use of e-bikes and motorized devices on Town property.
