Re: [LincolnTalk] A recommended Sunday drive

It is interesting and disappointing to read this.Lincoln stood out for creating affordable housing/ mixed income housing long before others.  Lincoln Woods, a cooperative mixed income development led the way in the 1970s.Development of new types of multi- family housing, rental and home-ownership,

Re: [LincolnTalk] A recommended Sunday drive

It had absolutely NOTHING to do with preventing “undesirable” people moving in. It had to do with land preservation and conservation and concern over the inability of the town finances to support a rapid growth in population. We had no commercial base, except a few small business along Rt.2A and

Re: [LincolnTalk] A request to assist in N. Lewis St. historic preservation

I am sorry you bear so much antipathy to the town and to historic preservation. We have worked hard to both preserve and to change with the times, and do so with innovation and creativity. So far, we have been relatively successful and the Lincoln Historical Society has been an integral part of

Re: [LincolnTalk] A recommended Sunday drive

Without discussing Lincoln specifically, there have been extensive studies for years connecting large-lot zoning with intentional discrimination by race, class and immigration status, and most recently -- families with children. The less land available for development, the easier to keep the

Re: [LincolnTalk] A recommended Sunday drive

Two acre zoning was meant as a means of "control" (a word currently bandied about without any shame) after WWII housing booms to prevent too much housing being built and "undesirable" people moving in. Anyone who has given an ounce of attention to the anti racism reckoning we are currently going

Re: [LincolnTalk] A recommended Sunday drive

Two acre zoning was to protect wetlands and open space and encourage land conservation. It bought time to allow for creative planning and development efforts. I recommend reading A Rich Harvest to better understand the arc of our history and the role land protection has played. Also, Bob

Re: [LincolnTalk] A request to assist in N. Lewis St. historic preservation

Thank you, Michael. I am not sure why we cannot eliminate N.Lewis St form all options and allow us a better chance at pursuing the National Historic designation that was interrupted in 2012. Perhaps you are correct-less rush to a vote might allow further consideration of this historical

Hardly misleading , Ken. Are you familiar with Cold Brook Crossing? Are you familiar with the renderings we all have been shown as to how the Mall redevelopment might look like along Lincoln Rd? The Cold Brook Crossing Buildings are set back. The buildings at the mall move forward, into the

Re: [LincolnTalk] A recommended Sunday drive

And our emergency services are quite familiar with our part of 117 since there are so many accidents due to our bucolic scenery and other historical roadways. I especially find it fascinating that Lincoln was the first town in Massachusetts to adopt two acre housing. So much history to be proud

Re: [LincolnTalk] A recommended Sunday drive

Sara, Your comment is very misleading. Cold Brook Crossing is not at all what one might see in Lincoln Station because of the controls that the Planning Board would have over any complex with the Site Plan Review section of Lincoln’s Zoning Bylaws that are already in place. Cold Brook

117 offers a lovely drive from Lincoln to Leominster, and a history lesson as you see the landscape and the towns change as you head west. Nearby, is a starling lesson. Just past Nine Acre Corner in Concord, and over the Sudbury line, on your right as you head west, you will see Cold Brook

I would alert the MBTA as they advertise this stop. In addition, I would contact the new Sect. of DoT, Monica TIbbits-Nutt, as she worked in transit in this region prior to her recent promotion. She is heavily invested in using all existing bus infrastructure as she used it as the head of the
