Wayland Town Crier 10/20/11: Committee continues to work toward proposal at Dudley Pond. An advisory committee is continuing to try to find common group on the fate of a 7-and-a-half acre parcel of town-owned land on the east side of Dudley Pond. The Dudley Area Advisory Committee welcomed back consultants from Tighe & Bond last Wednesday night to assess the first two public “charrettes” held so far and figure out the next steps before the committee brings a proposal forward to the Board of Selectmen. Among the common themes discussed by residents at the first charrette in June were preserving the 7-and-a-half acres around Pond Drive and Curtiss Road as open space, creating a septic field to help homes around the pond with failed septic systems, and improving public access to Rocky Point at the end of Doran Road.

Wayland Patch 6/26/11: The Dudley Pond Advisory Committee Invites Residents to a Charette. On June 27, the Dudley Area Advisory Committee hopes the public will head to the Town Building for a charette. According to the agenda for the meeting, a "charette" is nothing more than a landscape planner's term for a community design meeting. In this case, the charette has been called to allow the community an opportunity to "share ideas, visions and concerns regarding uses for the town land on Dudley Pond between Pond Drive and Doran Road."
