The Town of Scituate is moving into a high-intensity month of infrastructure projects and community celebrations, as officials detailed a flurry of upcoming events and public works initiatives during Monday’s town update. James Boudreau, Town Administrator, highlighted the start of critical revetment work at Minet Beach, noting that contractors are mobilizing equipment this week at the ends of Surfside and Gannett Roads. Boudreau addressed local concerns regarding the concurrent parking lot rehabilitation in the area, stating, "the project will be completed before the summer beach season. Please don’t worry about that. We’ll get that done in time." To facilitate the seawall repairs, Glades Road will be restricted to one-way traffic through the project's expected completion in March 2026. Select Board Clerk Jamie Gilmore shifted the focus to the town's packed holiday calendar, beginning with Friday's "Holidays in the Harbor" festivities and the annual lobster trap tree lighting. The weekend’s centerpiece remains the arrival of Santa Claus by boat at the Harbormaster’s office on Saturday morning. Beyond the festivities, Gilmore noted that the Select Board remains focused on long-term planning, stating, "We’ll continue to consider presentations of budgets from our town departments and we’ll also interview the first candidates for the Cushing School Reuse Committee. Should be very productive." Education and youth athletics are also taking center stage as the Scituate High School football team prepares for a championship appearance at Gillette Stadium this Saturday. School Committee member Janice Lindblom encouraged the community to support the student-athletes while also reminding parents of the logistical demands of the season. "If you missed the sign up and need to speak with your student’s teacher or teachers, please reach out to them and reschedule," Lindblom said regarding the upcoming parent-teacher conferences on December 11. She also highlighted the ongoing holiday gift drive running through December 12 to support Scituate Community Christmas. Infrastructure maintenance extends beyond the shore this week, with the Department of Public Works conducting stormwater catchment investigations to ensure federal compliance. Boudreau warned residents that crews would be accessing structures in various roadways, including Captain Pierce Road and Country Way. Additionally, subsurface boring for water main improvements is scheduled for Route 3A on Wednesday morning. As winter weather looms, Boudreau urged residents to finalize their home preparations despite a forecast that favors rain over snow for the immediate coast: "Make sure your snow blowers are ready. Make sure you have your shovels out, your generators all ready to go." The meeting was a series of informational updates; no formal motions were made and no votes were taken.
