Dear Lincoln,
I have lived in Lincoln since 1995. I cherish it. It is unique and special.
It takes care of people and wildlife.
I have had the privilege of working with some very smart people in
trying to understand HCA. I hope this video helps us all approach the HCA
Mandate thoughtfully.

After I posted about the wildlife I received a number of emails.

Wouldn’t typically notice, b/c I installed a reverse osmosis system when we
moved into town (I used to sell them door-to-door as a teen and the marketing
material I created made me a firm believer in R/O systems), yet I was at a
friends house close to our water source last night and was shocked
I have not noticed this in our water. Please contact the water department.

Lindsay, our tap water has smelled and tasted very strongly of dirt for the
past month. I can also smell the dirt smell when the shower is running (so
it’s cold and hot water).
We are on Lincoln rd. I was thinking it was just our house!

Dear Lincoln Talk -
We are experiencing a heavy smell and taste of mildew or mold in our tap water
for the last month or more. Is this something you’ve noticed as well?

For what it's worth, until our move this week, I lived a 2 minute walk from
the Commuter Rail station, but I found that the train didn't run often
enough to be helpful to me (I work in Cambridge). I've taken the train a
few times when using my car wasn't a choice and it was miserable. Based on
We have been told that our questions will be answered at the forum on the
8th, but there are no meetings posted before then. If these questions
required meetings, there would have to be one on the calendar for the HCAWG
before the 8th and there isn’t. In any case, the questions, technical in

Thank you for highlighting the outstanding discrepancies. I agree that we
need to see answers to these questions prior to the November 8 meeting.

With all the talk about the commuter rail and HCA I would like to add that I

As a former longtime resident of Arlington and having recently moved to

Hi Lincoln Talks,
First off, we want to thank everyone who has already helped!
However, because the deadline is approaching, we would really
appreciate any other support we can receive. As mentioned in the previous
email, our club members are willing to help around in the community here,
as well
I can't speak to the specific questions you are asking about but one
possible reason for not immediately responding to a question is that it
might require a discussion among members which would trigger the
requirement that 'deliberations' must occur in the context of an open
meeting.

One of the questions we submitted was answered as part of the FAQs that
were sent out by the HCAWG on Friday, but the rest were not. See below for
quote from that email. This question was posed to the HCAWG via email after
any meeting happened, so I don’t believe there is a constraint to wait for

The questions that we have been posted on Lincoln Talk, and directly to the
WG, are technical in nature. Both the HCAWG and the CCBC regularly post

Hi,
Is there anyone out there who would like to sell or get rid of one of

not have to be anything fancy.
Reply directly to me.
Thank you!

Don,
The law only requires the REZONING to not be restricted by age or
affordability.
What is built on it CAN be restricted by age or a higher affordability and
comply with the “letter of the law”. This was stated by a board member
during one of the meetings.
In fact- Lincoln woods is included

Open meeting violation is one thing, but more troublesome is the statement
that we know because we are in the business of managing the town. I did
object and then the "powerbase" started calling me names to oust me.

Do not confuse the letter of the law with the wretched guidelines imposed

The letter of the law is clear; within a half mile of a rapid transit
