Bottom line

City commissioners will consider approving a site plan, use of right-of-way agreement and a sidewalk dining application for the redevelopment of a Dillons grocery store at 1740 Mass.

Background

Dillons hopes to raze its 1960s-era store and replace it with a larger, more modern facility. Tuesday’s approvals would be among the last needed before the store could start construction. In addition to the site plan for the store, the city is being asked to approve a drive-through pharmacy lane that would be on city right-of-way, and an outdoor dining area that would be on the city sidewalk that runs along Massachusetts Street.
