Hi Rich, I beg to differ- I take the Acela regularly and it’s plenty speedy and efficient for me. Way better than driving to DC and NYC. However, if higher speeds matter to you, you may want to check out Florida’s Brightline system. I think they were testing 110 mph trips recently. Our family

Regarding catching up to Europe's mass transit. I've admired and been envious of Europe's (well, northern Europe's) intercity mass transit since I traveled on a Eurail pass in the 70's. I thought, maybe the U.S. will catch up some day. It's been almost 50 years and one could argue U.S. intercity

"Bronxville is 1 mile square. Lincoln (again according to Google) is 15 square miles, of which something like 35% of the land in town is held in conservation." That's the whole point. We moved to Lincoln because we valued the land, the conservation, the rural timeless feel, and the space. We have

Re: [LincolnTalk] CCBC Values Survey Reminder!

I agree that the Sp. TM was chaotic. It went on far too long! Many folks had left before the vote. Those of us who remained (to nearly midnight?) were exhausted. I agree that the vote was a compromise – we just wanted to get the process finished and go home. The CCBC asked the attendees to

Re: [LincolnTalk] MBTA Vision

Self driving cars are not 10 years away, at least not self driving cars that can deal with snow, heavy rain, snow on the roads, direct sun, and uninstrumented roads. Yes, we may well get cars that drive on well marked roads on nice days in that time frame, but full self driving is a long long ways

Does a few people emailing Lincoln Talk really constitute "widespread concern"? The email clearly states that the survey is intended to get more feedback from Lincoln residents "as it develops plans for a community center." This does not mean the survey itself is flawed. The community already

I support Anne’s view. The survey assumes that a community center will be built, and will be built at the Hartwell campus. The only place to offer a dissenting view was at the end, where it said something like “Briefly, what is the one thing you’d like us to know.” The words ”briefly” and
