The Select Board voted to hire a third‑party engineer to review traffic and road safety on Mason Road, Route 13 and the route into Townsend related to MASPB case MASPB2026‑01. S9 proposed the motion calling for a third‑party review; the motion set a ceiling amount of $5,000 and specified the scope include traffic and road safety.
Board members said retaining a reviewer in parallel with Mason's contracted reviewers protects Brookline's ability to raise defendable, expert objections later in the planning process. S1 (an abutter representative) explained that Brookline's options for post‑decision appeal are limited without expert testimony, and that a targeted safety‑focused peer review would provide evidence the town could use before Mason renders a final decision.
