Council approves curb‑cut modification to allow internal connection at Woburn Village

The Woburn City Council on Jan. 16 voted to grant a minor plan amendment requested by Woburn Edens LLC to allow a curb cut connecting Woburn Village (300 Mishawam Road) and 288 Mishawam Road, a property proposed for daycare use.

An attorney from the firm Reimer and Braunstein said the modification would permit internal connection between the properties and allow Woburn Village to provide parking spaces for the daycare during evenings and weekends under an existing agreement between the parties. The attorney told the council the change does not add building area and fits within the scope of prior minor amendments.

Councilor Marcela Bruin said she took “no exception to this minor modification” but asked that Inspector Quinn and Department of Public Works staff confirm that the plans before the council match the previously approved plans. The council adopted the motion to grant the minor modification with that stipulation; the motion was seconded and passed by voice vote.

The council did not attach additional conditions in the meeting; committee follow‑up will verify plan consistency with prior approvals.
