On Tuesday, June 14, 2022 at 6:00 p.m., Hale Task Force is holding a public meeting via Zoom to gather community input about Hale Education's proposal of a conservation restriction on 550 acres of land in Westwood.
The proposal, if adopted, would protect Hale's land in Westwood from future commercial or residential development at a price tag of $10 million. A representative from Hale Education and a member of Westwood's Hale Task Force will be presenting information.
A conservation restriction is a permanent restriction on land to preserve it in its natural, scenic, open, agricultural or forest condition, while permitting public recreational use. It would prohibit or limit construction and other activities, such as development, that are detrimental to the purpose of the conservation restriction.

Partly Cloudy , with a high of 47 and low of 26 degrees. Sunny during the morning, partly cloudy for the afternoon, clear overnight.
I completely agree. Washington St. also has some terrible patches, especially the handicap ramps. I don’t understand why the DPW is responsible for clearing sidewalks in front of homes and businesses. It seems that those should be the responsibility of the property owner.
The sidewalks on High Rock and Hartford have been pretty treacherous this winter too. I didn't contact DPW about it though.
