T.R. Brennan's redevelopment gets nod

MANCHESTER – The lot where Angelo's and then T.R. Brennan's once stood could host a two-building shopping center after city regulators last night approved variances that would allow a bank, drive-through restaurant, seven apartments and a Brennan's-like restaurant.

The vote by the city's Zoning Board of Adjustment came despite protests from some neighbors, who said the development would create too much traffic and congestion at the corner of Hanover and Page streets that could affect the safety of students at the nearby Weston Elementary School.

"A drive-through restaurant. I don't want that across the street from me. No way," said Sandy Kimball.

But the property's owners and board members said the location is ripe for a small-scale, mixed-use development that will cater to a neighborhood that includes some industry, commercial uses and an entrance to Interstate 93.
