WALPOLE — The Planning Board approved amended Lincoln Road gravel conditions 5-0 under a Land Court remand order.

The board added a reference to the police chief's Sept. 5, 2025, traffic memo and a gun club memorandum of understanding.

It kept existing language barring on-site crushing, sorting and washing of stone. Resident Kim Williams said "we're going to have 400 trucks a day" on a narrow, historic road.
