Mixed reviews for proposed senior living community

Traffic, lighting and tree coverage were among the issues residents raised during the first public hearing on the New England Deaconess Association’s proposal for a senior living community at the former BIIC property off Route 2.
The association formally presented its detailed plans for the 197-unit project, broken down between a congregate building, a number of clustered cottages, two existing buildings on site and a 30-unit rental building that counts toward affordable housing, at the Planning Board meeting Jan. 31.
The board will revisit the issue at 8 p.m. Wednesday, Feb. 28, in Town Offices and will conduct a site walk at 19 Cambridge Turnpike at 10 a.m. Sunday, Feb. 11.
