The group agreed to focus the primary station on the middle school location and the secondary station on the existing central station site, concluding that 487 Wellesley Street and other reviewed locations were not appropriate.

Your feedback helps us prioritize what to improve next.
The working group is no longer pursuing 487 Wellesley Street because wetlands, a stream, slopes, an aqueduct easement, and uncertain septic capacity limit the usable land. It will concentrate value-engineering efforts on the primary station while separately accounting for needed work at the existing station. The group supported issuing a final report by the end of December, with possible design-fee action at the spring 2026 annual town meeting.
