Ms. Waygan urged the Mashpee Town Officials to take bold action to continue to <br /> protect Mashpee waters including what is going on with regards to the proposed Mashpee Commons <br /> expansion project. <br /> Ms. Waygan applauded Selectman Carol A. Sherman for sharing information received from the Cape Cod <br /> Commission regarding Mashpee Commons and recommended the information be posted on the Town's <br /> website for all to access. In reading the materials Ms. Waygan indicated the Cape Cod Commission seems to <br /> be lingering on the envirommental review process including the level of review for the traffic study. In <br /> concern there is inconsistency with what has been proposed by the Planning Board. This includes a gross <br /> mismatch of square footage, commercial space and the numbers of rental units. The traffic study is also <br /> significantly smaller and does not seem to study as many traffic actions. At the June 20, 2021 meeting Ms. <br /> Waygan as a Planning Board member acted as a strong proponent of securing consultants especially a traffic <br /> engineer and an environmental engineer to protect the Town of Mashpee. <br />
