Option 5 is now the committee’s preferred design for the elementary school project, but it still requires further review and approval through the Massachusetts School Building Authority process. The proposed design would place Grades 1–5 in one building with separate bus and parent drop-off loops, centralized parking, and landscaped buffers. Residents raised concerns about traffic, emergency access, privacy, property values, and neighborhood safety; a planned two-week traffic study is expected to address traffic patterns.
