New, Sneaky Landlocked Housing in West Bridgewater via Brockton Street

Along with this deplorable behavior, Albanese attempted to convince the City Solicitor of an "agreement" regarding Meadow Woods but he was unsuccessful. Albanese retorted with the threat of legal action. Legal action against whom? On what grounds? May he continue to stick his foot into his mouth and act like a jackass. He proved us right with his arrogance and nepotism. Albanese thinks he is above the regulations that apply to everyone else. I would think city officials would want to pull away from him.

If he wants to be respectful, he would send letters to the abutters, attend Planning Board meetings, and follow the rules. There is no reason for a street sign since he has yet to formally present a plan for the road. Remember, West Bridgewater denied the neighborhood. This is utterly ridiculous. He says he will replace the sign, but the DPW Commissioner ultimately approves signage. The Commissioner denies approval of Eaniri Way.

Does anyone else think Albanese's admission "Nevertheless ... the "Eaniri Way" sign was truly meant to honor the city councilor, who has been in office since 2004" is odd? Seems to me he admitted that Eaniri is strong and successful with that statement. In describing Bene Albanese, let's add disingenuous, insincere, dishonest, untruthful, false, deceitful, duplicitous, lying, and hypocritical to his list of adjectives. We will continue to stand up to this twerp.

I would not eat at his restaurant; I do not trust him.

Benjamin Albanese cancelled this meeting AGAIN for the 8th time. He thinks he will wear us down and hopes Carpenter's other friends will win in the November election. There is a Kennedy School ward meeting regarding this topic at 6 pm on October 17 to discuss this matter. All residents are welcome.

I'm sorry, but if a person continually and intentionally misses meetings, the proposal should be closed.

I know, Capt! Wouldn't you think, at some point, the COB would cease participation in this game? Everyone knows what he is doing. I wonder if the same would be allowed for someone who is NOT the Mayor's friend? I hope concerned citizens, even those who are not direct abutters, will come to the Kennedy meeting. This WILL impact those who drive in that area, who rely on Brockton's emergency services, and pay taxes as things shift to the whim of Albanese and friends if a street is approved. As a side note, the land is cleared, the road is all but in (no pavement, but remember the Conservation Commission approved the wetlands interruption), and still no permits. Of course, if he ever does make this official, he must present a firm plan to the abutters (the 3 houses in Brockton is his fallback) as to why a road is necessary. Obviously that is Plan B because if Brockton approves 3 houses, then he is only a step away from punching the road though to his West Bridgewater properly.

This is a battle against Dennis Eaniri, too. Albanese does not appreciate Dennis' support of the neighbors and he hopes that Dennis will lose the election next month so Carpenter's opponent can come in and benefit from whatever they promised her to approve the plan. It is important for folks to support Eaniri, Farwell, Sullivan, Rodrigues, and any others who publicly oppose this in November. If you don't, Carpenter gains more power, a frightening thought. I am not a political person, but this is common sense. The problems in this city can turn around if we support those who agree that change is needed. Albanese, Carpenter, and Cardoso are NOT the SOLUTION.

Unfortunately Albanese will show after the election assuming Carpenter wins.

Voting is real important this year starting at your local level. If you’re in Ward 3 I recommend voting for Dennis E if you don’t want a hand picked Carpenter candidate. Vote for candidates like Farwell, Sullivan etc. who don’t vote strictly along Carpenter’s agenda. Take a look at the Commissions and Board members (who mostly have been appointed by Carpenter). You’ll see several who are running for elected office who are supporting this debacle of a project.

Elections have consequences. Your vote matters.

My good guess is the 3 home owners in Brockton are getting paid well and told to keep their mouths shut.
As hard as we fought the BIG fight over the Trash transfer Station, we lost. How, I'll never know, because we gave it our all.
Can anyone inform me of any proposals that haven't been shady or just plain dumb?

Dad, other than the obvious to whom I refer in my posts, I am unable to discover who else supports this as you mention. Would you direct me to those links or state the names so I can find this?

Capt - there are no three houses or neighbors who support this. The closest abutters are against, one of which put their house up for sale. Not sure where that stands. The person whose front lawn now will be directly located on the street (if approved) is against, but is not willing to step into the spotlight. That is sad, because she stands to lose the most.

The three houses to which I refer is the Plan B - if Albanese is unable to receive a permit for a street to nowhere, they will petition for three houses to be built on 2 acres of Petronelli land on the Brockton side. THEN they will argue, since the street is approved for a 3-lot subdivision, why not punch through to West Bridgewater? The problem with that becomes, a street for three homes in Brockton does not have the same zoning issues as one to a neighborhood in WB. That notion requires many additional approvals. That said, Albanese is a shrewd, arrogant, bully, and only cares about abutters willing to spend money in his restaurant. With the Mayor's obvious support, Allanese wants to bamboozle them as neighbors. The Petronellis are also in on this sham of a project. For the few out there who think this will bring up the value of their Brockton homes, don't count on it. The West Bridgewater residents who will share your sewer, water, and road will be laughing at you as they become the only ones living in that town with sewerage. The increased traffic, potential delay with your first responders, tampering of your wetlands, and all the rest of the issues I discuss in this topic will act against you. Those who are afraid to speak or publicly support the fight against Meadow Woods will be the ones who stay and watch their homes drastically change. The rest of us will move. Some of us bought our homes at such low prices, we can afford to sell them, too.
