Wait, if the RLF 4 acres is rezoned HCA, then wouldn’t it be sold to a

Do you think that they would create a rental space that might then be

Only option E would allow community center at the Mall
Else, RLF will sell to the highest bidder under HCA zoning for housing.

Hi Michelle and Geoff -
Would you be willing to share the site plans that you have from Civico with
the town prior to the December and/or March votes? I believe the Bank of
America building will be demolished and a new building built in the parking
lot on Lincoln Road, is that correct?

The 6 acres for Oriole Landing sold for $32 million.
I believe two 30 unit buildings could be put on the corner of Lincoln Road
and Codman Road as well. Look at the septic/wastewater system they designed
for Cold Brook, it does not take much physical space.
That is $32 million split three ways.

Hi Sara - I’m working on a 2-D scaled model (starting with the Codman road
section) to answer your question. This should help to visualize what the
footprint will be on the buildable acres there.
Why didn’t we ask Utile to do this? Ran out of time? Money?
Seems like we need more time for better
Thank goodness you are paying attention Bob!
The HCA feels like a juggernaut and options were clearly favored towards
“all near Lincoln station”. I have a long series of unanswered questions.
I hope to get answers and publish them all on a blog/website that everyone
can read.

I wouldn’t be so sure of that. Devilopers are smart and they are already
circling. They can see these maps as well. Lincoln will be a very
profitable place for them to build.
The property owners stand to make a lot of money. That’s why I’m curious
about how the subdistricts work and can
We bought our electric fencing from Wells Croft in New Hampshire with

On Wed, Sep 27,
Thank you Sarah for posting regarding flawed traffic study. 240 units in
the middle town would likely add over 300 cars and by some quick math 300
cars lined up would be bumper to bumper traffic between South Lincoln and
the school.
It would be a mess for those of us that live in South Lincoln.
Sorry to hear about your incident Ginger, it’s becoming more and more
difficult out there on the major roads of Lincoln with the behavior of the
drivers.

Until then, I think it is really unfair to be forced to build housing when
the current MBTA service does not make it possible to live in Lincoln
without a car. We will just end up with more cars and same train service.
Maybe it will be worth it by 2050?
