X thread
Student safety at Ralph Talbot School was a key issue at the June 1 Weymouth Town Council meeting. Reports of high vehicle speeds and near-misses involving traffic directors have raised serious alarms for parents and staff. 🧵 #MeetingWatch #WeymouthMA
Because the road is under MassDOT jurisdiction, the Town Council discussed how to facilitate improvements despite not having direct control. The Council unanimously referred the matter to the Ordinance Committee for immediate follow-up.
The Ordinance Committee meets June 9. The Council also aims to send formal communication to MassDOT to expedite safety solutions. Residents: keep pressure on officials to ensure these 'near-misses' don't become actual accidents. #Weymouth https://meetingwatch.org/ma/weymouth/town-council/2026-06-01/
At the June 1 Town Council meeting, the issue of pedestrian safety near Ralph Talbot School took center stage. Council members addressed growing concerns regarding high vehicle speeds and dangerous 'near-misses' involving traffic directors at the school crosswalk. Because the road in question falls under MassDOT jurisdiction, the Town faces a jurisdictional challenge in making immediate changes. However, the Council has moved to refer the matter to the Ordinance Committee for further discussion on June 9, and they intend to send formal communications to the state to push for faster safety solutions. For parents and residents, this remains a critical safety issue that requires more than just discussion. In other business, the Council also addressed an EPA administrative order regarding stormwater management. The town must update its regulations by September 30, 2026, to remain compliant. These changes, which are currently being reviewed by the Ordinance Committee, will likely impact documentation and enforcement for property owners and developers across Weymouth. https://meetingwatch.org/ma/weymouth/town-council/2026-06-01/ #MeetingWatch #WeymouthMA
