[LincolnTalk] Housing Choice Act

I am largely in favor of the recommendations from the HCA study committee. But I did not like Planning Board‘s response to traffic issues. Usually, she said, they deal with traffic issues case by case basis, as the developments before the planning board. In this case, however, the Town is openin

Re: [LincolnTalk] On the bridge from Waltham to Lincoln just now !

It’s wonderfully exciting to have this magnificent bird move into our area - a testament to our work to maintain habitat for our wild brothers and sisters. If I were a sheep or chicken farmer, however, I would find the news less exciting. I suspect the Codman Farm’s chicken-protection dog would

Re: [LincolnTalk] oierce house

The benefit of having a hang out place at the Council On Aging building is that people run into each other when they are there for services or programs. Then they like to sit around and talk before or after what they came for. A hang out at Pierce house sounds lovely, but that would have to be an i

[LincolnTalk] Thoughts on the community center

A lot of people have expressed concern that the attendance figures at the COA vary wildly from day today and from month to month and nobody really seems to understand what volume of people we should plan for. Let me remind people that the baby boom cohort just turning 70. Speaking as a person

Re: [LincolnTalk] Did you know Tower Road is planned to be re-paved in 2024? Concerned about what this will do to vehicle speeds? If so, read below...

When Farrar Road was repaved about a decade ago, it made it much harder for walkers an bikers. They added asphalt curbs to the sides to control the storm runoff, which makes sense from a DPW point of view, and possibly even an environmental point of view. But since the curbs were about 18 inche

Re: [LincolnTalk] Wood burning tips

We have had a fireplace insert for many years. It helps, but does not really solve the problem completely. The air that goes up the chimney when you burn a fire has to come from somewhere. It comes from inside your house and therefore pulls cold air in to replace it. Best way to solve the proble
