MARLBOROUGH – The developers of a proposed 140-unit apartment complex at the former McGee Farm property on Rte. 20 are trying to convince the state that a traffic signal is needed at the entrance.
Waypoint Residential, a Stamford, Connecticut-based development company, pledged $200,000 to study, design and construct a traffic light at the entrance of the proposed development, which is directly across from the entrance to the apartments at Village Drive.
Members of the City Council’s Urban Affairs Committee stress they are impressed with the plans, but cannot support the project without a guarantee from the state that a traffic light will be installed along the heavily-traveled corridor. Committee members have said it’s the only way to ensure the safety of motorists and pedestrians.
MARLBOROUGH Developers of a proposed 140-unit apartment complex at the former McGee Farm property on Boston Post Road East (Rte. 20) pledged $200,000 to study, design and construct a traffic light at the entrance of the facility.
But members of the City Council’s Urban Affairs Committee continued to stress they cannot support the project without a guarantee from the state that a traffic light will be installed.
Waypoint Residential, a Stamford, Connecticut-based development company, is seeking a special permit to build a three-building apartment complex at the site. The company initially planned to build a 188-unit, four-building development, but scaled back its proposal in response to concerns from neighbors and city leaders.
MARLBOROUGH Several key issues will likely go before the City Council in 2021, including zoning to attract more life sciences companies to Marlborough, a proposed 140-unit apartment complex at the former McGee Farm and the annual city spending plan.
City Council President Michael Ossing outlined some of the significant measures expected to come before the council in the new year.
Life sciences
The city already has a strong reputation as a hub for life sciences companies, but Marlborough leaders plan to strengthen that distinction in the coming year.
Ossing anticipates new zoning will come before the council to make Marlborough even more attractive for life sciences companies to move to the city.

The proposed Walcott Heritage Farms complex will now feature 96 one-bedroom apartments and 44 two-bedroom units. Urban Affairs Committee members are worried about traffic safety in that area, particularly for residents turning left into and out of the complex onto a heavily traveled section of Rte. 20.
