The Wedge Pond water-treatment project can continue under the extended permit. The commission found that the Smith Pond bridge replacement and the Canal Street gazebo, patio, and landscaping work would not require further environmental review, with a two-year maintenance condition for the new plantings at 101-103 Canal Street. Four dangerous trees at 83–85 Canal Street were approved for removal, while an ethics discussion about a possible commission-member pesticide business was postponed to July 28.
