Longer-form draft.
At its June 18 meeting, the Burlington Planning Board continued two development reviews that raised traffic and safety issues. The 85 Wilmington Road plaza expansion drew comments on increased trips, sight lines and risks to children on surrounding roads. The board requested traffic peer review extending to Crowdy Road and school-session data. The Chick-fil-A drive-thru proposal at 2 Wall Street near senior housing prompted questions on queuing, left-turn impacts and emergency access. Both hearings were continued to July 16. The board also received a charter committee update on potential changes to town meeting and administrator authority. Draft recommendations are scheduled for posting next week ahead of Select Board review. https://meetingwatch.org/ma/burlington/planning-board/2026-06-18/ #MeetingWatch #BurlingtonMA
