Residents warned the Board about critical gaps in fire safety: no hydrants, unreliable cell service for emergencies, and limited access for fire vehicles. The Board’s response? A pending wildfire review and private discussions between the developer and residents.

Beyond fire safety, neighbors raised alarms about traffic and pedestrians. High speeds on Wareham Road and a lack of sidewalks near new developments pose immediate risks to residents. These infrastructure needs remain unaddressed.

Longer-form draft.
At the May 27 Planning Board meeting, the tension between rapid development and community safety was on full display. Multiple residents provided testimony regarding the Redbrook development, raising serious alarms about fire safety, emergency access, and infrastructure. Specifically, speakers highlighted a lack of fire hydrants, intermittent cell service that could hinder emergency calls, and the absence of sidewalks to manage high traffic speeds on Wareham Road. While the Board noted that a wildfire review is underway, the immediate concerns regarding pedestrian safety and emergency response were not met with a concrete action plan, instead resulting in a decision to continue the matter to June 10. Additionally, residents challenged the environmental impact of the project, alleging that current construction practices are cutting down native trees beyond the limits allowed by zoning bylaws. The Board clarified that the development permit serves as the guiding document, but residents are still calling for stricter adherence to preservation rules. We will continue to track these issues to ensure that 'broken promises' regarding road paving and water quality are addressed and that safety is not sidelined for development. https://meetingwatch.org/ma/plymouth/planning-board/2026-05-27/ #MeetingWatch #PlymouthMA
