WILBRAHAM — The Wilbraham Economic Development Committee discussed the Town Center Access Project, a proposed downtown parking and traffic-safety initiative. Vice Chair Jeffrey Smith outlined the project's decade-long history, traffic-calming measures, and plans to replace any removed green space; the committee scheduled a public information event for April 1 at 6 p.m. at the Senior Center, pending confirmation from the Traffic Safety Committee, engineer VHB, and Town Engineer. Community members raised concerns about traffic safety, green space preservation, and parking justification; Chair Christal Russo has engaged the Sugar Chalet owner and Smith will coordinate with the veterans' agent.
