Today's riddle: What day of the year is trucker's day? 🤔 (Answer below!)
• Council quickly OKs Winter Street ADU project (homenewshere.com) — Woburn's City Council has approved a special permit for an in-law accessory dwelling unit at 27 Winter Street in North Woburn, near Mill Pond Reservoir and Altavesta Elementary. Because the lot sits in a groundwater protection district, the project includes an infiltrating gutter system to offset added impervious surface and satisfy city engineers' stormwater concerns.
• Regarding pension payments to former patrolmen Robert DeNapoli… Mayor Concannon seeks to boost injured police officer's retirement benefits (homenewshere.com) — Woburn's mayor is backing special legislation to give retired police officer Robert DeNapoli a full disability-equivalent pension as he turns 65, revisiting a long-disputed compensation case stemming from his 2011 on-duty shooting injuries. The City Council has quietly sent the proposal to its Liaison Committee for review, potentially reshaping DeNapoli's retirement income.
• Burlington Police officer arrested in alleged bloody assault (bostonherald.com) — A Burlington police lieutenant accused of assaulting his wife is scheduled for a pre-trial hearing at Woburn District Court in November, after officers reported finding significant blood at his home and determined him to be the primary aggressor. He has pleaded not guilty, is on paid administrative leave, and faces an internal investigation, with department leaders promising a thorough, impartial review of the incident.
