Re: [LincolnTalk] HCAWG meeting November 21, 8:00 am.
I thought the person (Frank?) presented very well. The spirit of the law could be station contiguity.. People have spoken about train irregularity and the projected traffic. Hence the Lincoln Center development is an infrastructure problem where heavy future tax is a necessity. I understand the Lincoln station development would be considered as an independent vote with all the accessory information registered properly. I understand that the E option is designed to comply with the requirements of HCA and avoids Lincoln station. I thought the engineers have done brilliant work in distributing housing, maintaining the character of the town and adding housing to the system without causing a traffic bottleneck. I had commented last night on the meaningless traffic study posted at the town. Nobody has explained. It appears to me that the traffic study was designed in line of Oriole's Landing where egress was a problem because of the highway.. Lincoln station traffic study would need a projection of congestion and time delay. , Best regards, Bijoy Misra On Tue, Nov 21, 2023 at 11:32 AM wrote: > I attended the HCA working group meeting on Zoom this morning.

[LincolnTalk] HCAWG meeting November 21, 8:00 am.
I attended the HCA working group meeting on Zoom this morning. A major item on the agenda was the presentation and discussion of Option E prepared by the Lincoln Residents for Housing Alternatives. The individual who presented E declared that of all the options prepared thus far, it would have the "minimal impact on the town of Lincoln. " I would add that it also would have the minimal impact on the housing problem. When a member of the working group questioned whether Option E was in the spirit of the Housing Choice Act, a proponent responded, "The spirit of the law has no meaning if you think about it profoundly." I disagree. In this case, the spirit of the law can be found in the problem we are being asked to help solve and the empathy and sense of community we find to do so. As we all know, just because you can't count something does not mean it does not exist or have meaning. Barbara Slayter -- The LincolnTalk mailing list. To post, send mail to Lincoln@lincolntalk.org.
