[LincolnTalk] bus service from hanscom
I used the bus service to Alewife to get into Boston for about three months. I would not recommend using the bus to commute to Boston especially if you live in south Lincoln. While it is about a third cheaper than the commuter rail monthly pass, it is very slow, uncomfortable, and can be dangerous. I would budget two hours in morning and three hours in evening to get back and forth. if you are using it as a commuter, the bus is frequently off schedule so add time. In the morning there were always seats and ran close to schedule but the bus filled up as it slowly worked its way thru Lexington. Time to get to Alewife is about one hour plus any waiting time. Then you would take the red line into boston which has had had many delays so add generous time to get into Boston. The evening route was truly horrible-one of the worst of any public transportation system I have experienced. First, you have to get to Alewife from Boston and there are many delays so add a lot of time. If you miss one of the infrequent evening busses and by then crowds of people were waiting to cram onto bus and you have to stand outside to keep your place for at least an hour. Regularly, the driver did not know the routes and riders were coaching along the way. Once when I as really desperate, I took Bedford bus and got off at I-95 overpass and walked to parking space in Lincoln. But it is very dark,heavy traffic and there are few sidewalks on 2A and it took a lot of time.

Re: [LincolnTalk] Thoughts on the Housing Choice Act and the October 10th Multi-Board Meeting
The state is going about this all wrong. The state has provided virtually no new investment in transportation infrastructure in many of the over 200 towns that currently dont have any existing service. Instead. they are re-heating the old transit oriented development policy, which was not bad when it was fresh, and re-serving to the same areas which are already full. The HCA *should* be applied in areas with new infrastructure and previously unserved towns that are wanting the investment and a carless option. The new South Coast Corridor Commuter line from Stoughton to Taunton and New Bedford and scheduled to open in 2024 is an example. In our area,improvements are still needed and could be as simple as reinstating or adding express busses and park and rides along major roadways such as route 2, route 117, I-90, route 20 I 4-95 etc. Regards, *Stephanie Smoot* 857 368-9175 work 781 941-6842 personal cell *617 595-5217 *work cell On Tue, Oct 10, 2023 at 11:21 AM Bob Kupperstein wrote: > I applaud John's thoughts. > > There is a real, enduring housing shortage in our region that causes great > hardships for many people.

[LincolnTalk] In search of pectin and jelly advice for Black Muscat grapes
Having harvested the greenhouse Black Hamburg grapes to make jelly, I am now looking for pectin. Has anyone seen any in stores? I also need some culinary advice. I'm finding that even without sugar, the black Hamburgs, which are a Muscat type wine grape, are sweeter than our native Concord Grapes which are more tart. I'm thinking I may need to doctor these sweetish grapes with a little concord grape juice so it tastes like more closely to what people are expecting from grape jelly (tangy and purple). Perhaps this is very provincial of me, having been raised on the traditional peanut butter and jelly sandwich as these particular Black Hamburgs are uniquely historic grapes. And there is the logistical problem that the greenhouse grapes are ready now and concord grapes wont be ready for another month or two so I'll have to use Concord Grape Juice from the store. But I dont know what gets added to grape juice and if it might affect recipe. Does anyone have a recommendation for a concord grape juice that is just juice and not too watery? I could also make second batch with a splash of red wine to make it less sweet and more complex. Has anyone a recommendations for a type of red wine that might be good for the second batch (cabernet, merlot?). And whether either of these drinks would affect a basic grape jelly recipe.

Let people decide instead of forcing them.

Re: [LincolnTalk] Hanscom: proposed massive development
In addition to the noise and disturbance to the high school and residents, I can't imagine how this proposed expansion can co-exist with the Minuteman National Park.

Re: [LincolnTalk] COMMUNITY CENTER
There is nothing like food to bring the community together. And cooking is indeed a life skill that used to be taught in home ec before the invention of Grubhub. That said, professional kitchens are expensive, there are town standards so you dont start a frie or get food poisoning and you can get cooking classes at Minuteman. The benefit of Minuteman, is that it brings some activity to North Lincoln.

Re: [LincolnTalk] A Personal Vision: Distributed spaces for Community Services
In response to a non-centralized space, one thing I love about the library is that the website says, "the Library is always open". There is lots of needs that can be handled virtually without needing brick and mortar building space. A lot of people seem to be yearning for something else. A meeting space that is not a conference room or a church. So believe it or not, there is actually an organization in Somerville called CultureHouse, that takes unused urban storefronts and makes comfortable public "living rooms". These spaces are very popular, flexible and creative in design,clean and kept people from feeling to isolated during Covid. The indoor spaces are multi generational. Something might be fun to try out in the Lincoln Station area as a short term patch as the seniors need something now-they paid for the school. CultureHouse (CultureHaus?) uses grants and they are oritginally from Copenhagen.

Re: [LincolnTalk] The meaning of community
In addition to Ryan and Lincoln Woods, Seniors are spread all over Lincoln including Mary’s way and battlefarm road, commons, Farrar pond village/Lincoln Ridge, maybe Hanscom plus assorted single family houses . No matter where senior center is placed, most people will not be able to or not want to walk (during bad weather). Seniors are going to need rides if they can’t drive themselves.

While i might find a $5 pizza suspect, a $30 pizza may also be unnecessary if most comparable pizzas are $15.

[LincolnTalk] Community center/ senior center
Littleton is working on a spacious 2 story senior center with lots of office space, activity and other dedicated rooms, dining hall etc. etc for under 15 Million . Im Not sure if that cost includes site work such as parking and utilities shown in renderings. But something similar could fit somewhere in Lincoln like Hartwell. -- Regards, *Stephanie Smoot* 857 368-9175 work 781 941-6842 personal cell *617 595-5217 *work cell 126 Chestnut Circle Lincoln, MA 01773 -- The LincolnTalk mailing list.

Re: [LincolnTalk] Natural gas price increase
Let the politicians in Europe sweat. Europe (Germany in particular) has chosen to support, promote and strengthen Russian natural gas production thru the glossy new Nordstrom II, instead of other energy choices and resources available, and instead of considering issues of energy security. Just like the VW diesel crisis, somebody over there took a calculated risk that all would be well, and went for the money. I am fine with selling Europe lots of natural gas, but not subsidizing them. They are wealthy enough. Plus, historically, Europe has done very little to support Ukraine other than to exploit them m as a source of cheap labor. Why is the cost of our home-grown natural gas doubling? In my opinion it is demand caused by Europe being played (German leadership in particular) and our government bailing them out at the citizens' expense.

[LincolnTalk] Pollinator meadows
On a related topic to watering lawns which are now mostly brown, Ive noticed many unmown pollinator meadows on residential plots which were set aside this spring. They are looking pretty good! Could some of you email me off line to share and discuss the nitty gritty details?

I have to dispose of dad's old medical bed by tomorrow. only one motor works-the feet and head raise. Any takers? Any suggestions?

Re: [LincolnTalk] bikes and trails
The users will change from walkers to cyclists. There will be increased policing of use for cyclists to stay on their 50% and not expand, An increased need for maintenance on trails as seen by other local case studies like the Fells. Impacts to habitat. Someone to “review bike permits” from Lincoln. So now, bikes are allowed, may I campaign to allow camping on Conservation Land- there is lots of room. From: Barbara PeskinSent: Thursday, July 14, 2022 8:45 AMTo: Subject: Re: [LincolnTalk] bikes and trails Dear Lincoln, Based on the Commissions vote last night there will now be recreational biking on 1/2 of the trails at Mt. Misery and more trails throughout Lincoln and permits given for bike groups to use them. Someone on Lincoln Talk commented that there has been a nine month process for getting public input on this decision. I believe that is not the case. In November the public forum mentioned finding additional transportation trails for bikes. Only in MAY was the plan for making Mt. Misery a destination for recreational biking made public. I believe this decision was rushed and unnecessary and I am sorry for the people, wildlife and habitat it will impact negatively.-- ~Barbara PeskinMy Moments in Nature Photo Gallery: barbarapeskin.com This email has been checked for viruses by AVG antivirus software. www.avg.com -- The LincolnTalk mailing list.

Re: [LincolnTalk] (no subject)
Just to add to issue about connectivity, if you consider yourself fortunate to live in a town that still has a working train system you can actually get to several rail trails. 1. Assabet river rail trail at South Acton stop 3. Bruce freeman by taking train at west concord stop (Route 2 bridge not officially open until fall but people are using it), 2. Charles Riverwalk at Waltham stop. *Bikes are not allowed during rush hour so check schedule. * 4. You can also pedal entirely along the roadside paths from Lincoln to Wayland center to the Mass Central Rail Trail.

Re: [LincolnTalk] Bikes on bike paths where they belong?
"Roadside Paths" are the paved asphalt sidewalks that follow the natural topo and vegetation that have been in place for about 50 years. Not to be confused with the unpaved trails in the conservation area the mountain bikers would like additional access to.

Re: [LincolnTalk] Trails Continuance
Well, it depends who you ask. For dog walkers, we are very "welcoming and open minded" . The cyclists are late to the table. Seriously, its about bikes on dirt trails essentially changing the nature of the trails from passive enjoyment (a quiet walk in the woods) to more active type of recreation (cycling). If you give cycling to some of the trails, other more passive users will drop off.

Re: [LincolnTalk] Corrected - Trail Use Proposal - not too late to postpone and impact on walkers and nature
Was there any discussion on improving some of the paths, ie upgrading a couple of miles to make them a useful cross town off road system or just keeping them the same dirt paths for for surefooted local dog walkers and occasional cyclist. If so, you likely wont get the cyclists who want to go from say home to the supermarket or library without making an unnecssary car trip.

Re: [LincolnTalk] Bemis Meeting Election Integrity Analysis and Discussion
Well, the bigwigs are always going to start negotiating from opposite extreme ends and meet somewhere in the middle. But for us regular folks, How about something most people could agree on like spending some money on updating voter rolls? There was an incredible surfeit of paper ballots floating around in 2020. My mother who passed in 2018 got a 2020 mail-in ballot. That is one personal example that doesnt make me feel confident! Or a voting holiday (three holidays in november, yay!) and smaller more local voting precincts?

[LincolnTalk] Bemis Meeting Election Integrity Analysis and Discussion
I enjoyed last nights meeting and feel encouraged to speak out against all the negative emails I had been receiving. I found the perspectives refreshing on the issue of election integrity, a subject that is causing controversy in our country. I left with the takeaway that fair elections, and the perception that the election process is fair, is something we should all be concerned about. The event was well-attended. Trends in voting data and on how to improve voting integrity in the future was presented intelligently. Anyone who was not completely polemicized, could also have attended and found it thought provoking, and not scary. I even got to meet the candidate for congress in district 5 (thats our district), Caroline Colarusso . I don’t know who attended from Lincoln since I don’t know many people here. Some of the data was from Rhode Island examples, that might be why some RI people attended. I’m glad my family gave me time from my other duties to step out and attend.

Re: [LincolnTalk] Electric Bike Recommendations
That is a tough hill! Cyclists do make it up the hill but I havent seen them do it packed with groceries and kids. Are you planning to use it every day even in bad weather to get places on time without being too wet/cold/sweaty? For example do you need to catch the train, and buy a bag of groceries at Crosbys then pick up books from library before hitting the hill and did you give up your car? Recommend the higher power bike with full throttle or you will grow to hate the trip. Pedal assist may be okay for a better workout and recreational use.

Re: [LincolnTalk] Where Does Your Town Rank? The Richest, Poorest Places In Massachusetts
Such a deliciously horrible cheap package typical of Pulte development. Yes,there are undisclosed HOA fees.

[LincolnTalk] New striping on Farrar road
The new “unilane” seems to be working well. There is one shared car lane and two shoulders for non vehicle pads and bikes. I haven’t noticed any conflicts and It’s a nice compromise to chopping down all the trees to put in sidewalks.

Re: [LincolnTalk] Lincoln Needs a Climate Action Plan!
New construction has hugely negative consequences for energy, transportation and stormwater. Neighboring towns are building high density developments where habitat used to be and the animals are moving in desperate for habitat. Consider a dynamic preservation of open-space approach. Too often we consider valuable open space to be empty space that needs to be filled.

Re: [LincolnTalk] Light Pollution in Lincoln
Interesting topic that goes unnoticed. I think there is a lot of low hanging fruit to make improvement.For example, my multi family unit runs dozens of carport lights all night long. You can’t switch them off. Perhaps at one time everyone worked third shift. But now, everyone has a flashlight on their smart phone should they be out at 3 am.Since we have streetlights in all the open parking areas it seems unnecessary!

Re: [LincolnTalk] Housing
I'm not judging, just observing a trend but there is a huge number of single parent households in this area. When a couple gets divorced (or just have kids then move on) you then need two homes for a family instead of one. Many apartments in this area support this arrangement. Perhaps if more people got married, there would be less need for housing. Can we encourage love and matrimony? I'm also not sure why it is so expensive up here. It cant just be the cost of mittens and boots. I lived quite nicely as a single mother in the south because daycare and housing was affordable. The healthcare was fine. *Stephanie Smoot* 857 368-9175 work 781 941-6842 personal cell *617 595-5217 *work cell 126 Chestnut Circle Lincoln, MA 01773 On Fri, Jan 28, 2022 at 9:48 AM Victoria Benalfew wrote: > Hi Patrick, > > You raised many good points that I agree with.

Re: [LincolnTalk] Massachusetts will punish suburbs that don't allow apartments near transit.
Well, no doubt housing that density could be accomplished on a Lincoln lot. Should we build 15 units per acre because the state says so? How about some affordable (with a small a) single family houses? Ted may be referring to Coldbrook Crossing on Route 117 with almost 300 Pulte units coming online this summer. Pulte is also building several large scale developments in other towns.

Re: [LincolnTalk] Massachusetts will punish suburbs that don't allow apartments near transit.
It would have to be dense housing with little or no parking in to achieve density to support public transportation and to force the residents to use it. Plus new parking takes up a lot of space and causes stormwater run-off problems.These models work well in small cities and big towns like Newton that have many options for transportation for many hours of the day. I dont know how many elderly will use the train since it is not accessible and Covid is taking a bite out of ridership. Possibly students or young couples who need to go into boston once a week to check in at office. I could also see a couple full-time workers who could e-bike to work. The missing piece is that there already is a lot of apartments and condos popping up around the perifery of Lincoln.Towns in our area are quickly adding units where the land is cheaper, where parking can be incorporated, and along edges where abutters from other towns cant participate in process. Those units do not have public transportation, you need a car or rideshare. A great place for residential development would be the old Whole Foods/Purity Supreme in Wayland.

Re: [LincolnTalk] Massachusetts will punish suburbs that don't allow apartments near transit.
We do have a bus stop and I have used it for a couple of months. It is a lot cheaper to take a bus ($2.50 a ride) than the train ($8.50 a ride) but you will pay in time and gas. It takes about 2.5 hours to get into Boston via Alewife from my unit in South Lincoln. Yes, thats one way. The bus stop is cold and exposed and there is no parking. The service is unpredictable and there are long waits in between buses in the dark. That said I noticed a regular crew of cleaners also use the bus stop at 2A and catch shuttles to their jobs at say Lincoln Labs or Hanscom. I never saw anyone at Battle Farm Condos use the bus stop there. And the stop may be considered on Federal Land. The bus was usually empty until it got to Lexington. I"m surprised we dont have a small park and ride at Crosby Corner or Bedford Road to Alewife along route 2. That said, as ride shares are abundant and many people work from home, the state may have missed their mark on this one rule as there is no guarantee people in multifamily housing will use a lot of public transit. the principles of Transit oriented development was developed before Covid, Amazon Prime and Uber.

Thats great that we got free covid tests for our low-income residents and beat out 250 of our 351 towns & cities in Massachusetts.
