Dear Lincoln, Thank you, Deb, for information on the public forums in a recent thread. Option C, adding an estimated 454 new housing units and 900 cars on Lincoln Rd, Codman Rd and Lincoln Station, was selected based on the preference of less than 170 people at one Sense of the Town meeting. Let’s have more voices decide Lincoln’s future. It is not too late. The Lincoln Residents for Alternative Housing Development working group is researching alternatives for the Town. Some of us are committed to affordable housing, some are committed to the existing look and feel of our small town center for kids and us, some to adding some housing units at the mall but not through the HCA rezoning that invites much more expansive development, and some are committed to nature and wildlife (like me). We have different concerns, some common ideas, and are researching and vetting options. Email us at lincolnresidentsforalternativehousingdevelopm...@googlegroups.com to ask questions, share ideas and stay informed. We welcome you, and please share the contact email with friends that are interested and might not be on LincolnTalk.

Jennifer Glass’s post here in LT about the Housing Choice Act is a useful primer; to learn more about the issues, consider attending the upcoming meetings: 1. *October 24** - Planning Board meeting* to present options D1 and D2 to the public; options will then be posted on the HCAWG web page 2. The Housing Choice Act Working Group will hold *two Community Forums on* *Wednesday, November 8, 2023* Morning: 8 AM to10 AM — in person @ Town Offices Evening: 7 PM to 9 PM — virtual via Zoom For the Zoom forum, register here: https://us06web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZ0lcuuqqj8uGtFZbgFL3Ghr2zR5oH5ZdaVF That meeting’s agenda calls for: Review Option C and new Option D1 and Option D2 — 30 minutes Q & A — 90 minutes Feedback preference for D1 or D2 *3. Saturday, December 2, 2023 Special Town Meeting* Sense of the Town from residents via an informal paper ballot on preferred option C or D Because the Lincoln Journal no longer exists, and not everyone reads either Lincoln Talk or the Squirrel, consider talking to your neighbors about the meetings scheduled and the information being presented. Thoughtful community input can only improve the big decisions being made. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Barbara Peskin *My Moments in Nature Photo Gallery: barbarapeskin.com <http://barbarapeskin.com>*
