Waverly Square board approves Sudbury Montessori site plan with safety conditions

In a decisive move during the Sudbury Planning Board meeting on March 26, 2025, members unanimously approved the site plan for the Sudbury Montessori daycare located at 142 and 144 North Road, Waverly Square. The approval came with specific conditions aimed at enhancing safety and accessibility for the facility.

Board members expressed their support for the proposed safety measures, including the installation of boulders in front of the fence to protect it and the painting of a crosswalk to facilitate safe access across the road. Additionally, six-inch bollards will be placed at the playground area, ensuring that the fire chief's requirement for a 20-foot lane is maintained.

One board member emphasized the importance of collaboration with town officials, stating, "I don't take any exception to what the applicant has proposed just so long as... the fire chief is happy with what is being implemented." This sentiment reflects the board's commitment to ensuring that safety standards are met while supporting local businesses.

The meeting concluded with a clear consensus among board members, who voted in favor of the motion, signaling a positive step forward for the daycare and the community. As the project moves ahead, the board's focus on safety and accessibility will play a crucial role in its successful implementation.
