Mtg notes: Selectmen 03.17.11 – MWRA traffic woes this summer; another restaurant in the works

During their 3/17 session the Board of Selectmen heard received an update from the MWRA on the status of water main work. The good news is the work from Adams to Squantum is done and they will be repaving the road.
