[LincolnTalk] Fwd: mirror framing?

Hello I am looking to frame an oval beveled glass mirror that has sentimental value as it belonged to my mother. I am hoping to get some suggestions from foks out here in Lincolnland. Custom made wooden frames are outside my budget but, I have not found a frame alone without a picture or a mirro

Well, to that last sentence-this is what Lincoln has been doing since the 70s…usually 2 steps ahead of any other town. We have done it thoughtfully, with full-town participation and consensus through Town Meeting This is NOT the process of the suggested zoning changes. And, does anyone seriously

Why would anyone be concerned with christian values when determining housing policy? There is however an otherworldly housing affordability problem in the Greater Boston area, with Lincoln being a prime example of entrenched nimbyism. Imagine suggesting the possibility that we forego funding or clo

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 onli

Dear Allen, You might recall my objection to similar comments of yours in the meeting of the Housing Commission. We should keep away from any thoughts of creating a "serving class" through the town housing stock. Some of us are lucky to have better incomes or being born to wealth. A serving person

At the end of the day about our town values, which we need to establish collectively. Perhaps the Select Board can provide a motion to the town committee for how they recommend the town proceeds. Our family lives on a 5.7 acre lot (60% wetlands) that borders that town center, with more frontage

One way to think about this: there are 43,000 square feet in an acre. If the developer builds fifteen 1,500 square foot apartments in a three story building with the lower level devoted to parking (in other words, units on the 2nd and third floors), they are covering 11,000 square feet of that acre

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 Newt

Hello LT. Does anyone have an AM/FM radio no longer being used?  My husband and I have decided that we would prefer a radio over live streaming online.  We would prefer a radio that has the ability to use batteries (in case of a power outage), but would be happy just to plug it into an outlet.

It should also be noted that the “density” metric is measured on a per lot basis. Lincoln Woods has been cited in this thread as a “high density” development, but property contains a lot of wetland and conservation land, as well as a septic treatment plant set well back from the rest of the p
