Location Problems in Attleboro

According to NBC 10 in Providence, A new fast-food restaurant coming to Attleboro is causing some concerns over traffic. Recently, the city's planning and zoning boards approved the construction of a Taco Bell on the corner of Pleasant Street and Perry Avenue While some people may be excited for another dining option, many people have voiced concerns. A post on city Mayor Paul Heroux's Facebook page has more than 200 comments on it, most of which raise worries over whether the project will cause traffic havoc in the area. Attleboro's Director of Planning & Development Gary Ayrassian said Route 123 is built for the heavy traffic he sees every day. He also notes the vacant lot is zoned as commercial land-use, which means Taco Bell didn't need any special permits from the city for the restaurant itself, just an appearance in front of the planning board to review site plans.
