Talk Roads and Parks Over Coffee Tomorrow Morning

Abington, MA · November 13, 2026

Keep an umbrella handy by the front door this morning as steady rain settles in across the region, just in time to wash away the week. You will want dry shoes and a warm mug before tackling the weekend lineup.

The Lead

Public works officials are inviting residents to the senior center tomorrow morning for Coffee with DPW, establishing a direct, casual channel to question town officials about local infrastructure. Rather than waiting for a formal Town Meeting floor debate or navigating departmental phone trees, residents can sit down over coffee and donuts with leadership to discuss neighborhood-specific issues face-to-face. DPW staff will be on hand to field questions regarding ongoing street resurfacing schedules, stormwater drainage upgrades, and winter snowplow preparation as cold weather approaches. With overnight street parking regulations now in effect across town and routine paving winding down before the first ground freeze, department supervisors want direct feedback from the motorists and pedestrians traveling these corridors daily. The open session runs tomorrow from 10:00 AM to noon at 441 Summer Street, with walk-in discussions open to all.
