This is what exactly our Select Board should do. Allow a vote for the town to accept the policy of rezoning the Center as a principle. Let various groups and neighbors express themselves. Let it be democratic. Once we decide rezoning, we go to the next step of what's doable and how we can do it. It is easy to check that Lincoln Road at the train station is not Harvard Street in Brrokline. We have to do a massive traffic study than romantically think that people will take a bag and walk to the grocery (and the store would be removed!). We have to first create four lane road in the area and configure space for two thousand new people (sanitation, school, parking and outdoor space). At the moment, we should stall of the apartment creation and let the town vote on rezoning the Center. We can continue to create houses in other spaces where traffic impact will be less. Later on we may envision that Lincoln Road has a 500 ft commercial corridor as a business district. It has to be planned and designed and not rushed. Best regards, Bijoy Misra
