Back to the Drawing Board for Scenic Road Ordinance
Take a look at what's happening in Attleboro and Seekonk.
1. A proposal for preservation and protection of Attleboro's "scenic roads" was struck from the council docket Tuesday night by an 11-0 vote. Proponents of the Scenic Road Ordinance had requested the action after a negative recommendation from the Planning Board meant the council could vote to reject the measure, which is more than a decade in the making. The proponents can now produce a new proposal that can again go through the government approval pipeline.
