Saturday afternoon was such a gorgeous day, I had to be out and about to capture some photos and in this case a brief 5 minute video. I took a walk to highlight the development efforts for the sculpture park to be opened this fall on Panther Way. The park will be located on the ground of the old town pool next to the Police Station.
If you haven't been out there yet, do plan on going when the sculptures are in place. In the meantime, join me for this walk.
Additional information on the Sculpture Park can be found on the Franklin Art Center webpage.

An allegation (also called adduction) is a claim of a fact by a party in a pleading, which the party claims to be able to prove. Allegations remain assertions without proof, until they can be proved.[1]The text on allegation is from wikipedia.
In the Milford Daily News:
Police are investigating a serious allegation of misconduct against a Franklin High School teacher, who has been placed on paid administrative leave, the school district announced Monday.
In a statement posted to the district’s website, the school department said it immediately reported the allegation to the police and sent a report to the state Department of Children and Families. The announcement came a day before students were set to start the new school year.

Getting ready to slow down on King St
The meetings around the safety of the school crossing on King St at Wachusett St for the students going to the Parmenter Elementary School made promises that are about to be delivered.
Construction on the past couple of days have resulted in some tree branches trimmed back
one tree removed
poles installed for better marking of the crossing
speed warning signs have been installed. This one shown is on King St heading to i495. There is a similar one on King St heading towards Wachusett St.
With school opening on Tuesday, the work to finish the installation seems like it can be completed on Monday.
From the archives
the meeting at Parmenter with Franklin officials was mentioned during the January Town Council meeting
http://www.franklinmatters.org/2013/01/live-reporting-closing.html
the plan to prepare for this installation was voted on and approved by the Finance Committee in March and then by the Town Council
