@ChristoSilvia @AngusJBA what is the issue you see with busses?

[Paul McDonald @paulmcd]

@pauljoy1 @jasoncoxnc just realized he's based in NC so maybe he is referring to a different Belmont :)

[Paul McDonald @paulmcd]

someone do this to Belmont please.
would be great to see more novel, local, small biz instead of 7 bank branch locations in town center.

Revitalizing a Small Southeastern Downtown, a working primer.

1st, The Req’ts:
-Accessibility: <40 minutes from 1 or more larger metros.

-Growth: Metro must have strong growth, creating pricing pressure for both residents & companies.

@thebostonlol @pasta_niece @universalhub [some] boston suburbs, or at least specific neighborhoods, can be incredibly unwelcoming in general

@imbobswaget "he's friendly!"

would sniffing your balls or tackling you make me seem friendly?

i have no interest in playing with your stupid mutt

[Paul McDonald @paulmcd]

@AngusJBA hey i am super interested in this - did you find/do some analysis here or is this based on a few examples you saw?
i got some data from assessors but haven't done much with it

[Paul McDonald @paulmcd]

@profmarylewis @Belmont_Ma what intersection?

i just saw a cyclist run a red light from brighton turning left onto concord which seemed suicidal to me (did not appear to slow down enough to look, i was waiting on my bike to make the same turn)

@MilesPerHoward Carl's Steak [and cheese] Subs is great

[Paul McDonald @paulmcd]

@BonjourParis_ heading there this summer will check it out!

[Paul McDonald @paulmcd]

highlights of first Belmont Town Meeting
*strong support on affordable housing related measures
*new HS auditorium is a great facility
*seeing how many other people biked to TM!

[Paul McDonald @paulmcd]

Town Meetings members showing up and asking questions that show they clearly have put no effort into understanding the MBTA Communities Law requirements are not serious people and should not be re-elected

[Paul McDonald @paulmcd]

@AngusJBA yeah i got that part, more of a general question about future projects

[Paul McDonald @paulmcd]

@BonjourParis_ where in MA is this from??

[Paul McDonald @paulmcd]

@AngusJBA i was confused about the window restoration project at first. Does it fall under CPA bc the building is a historic building? all else being equal I'd prefer CPA funds go to town-owned land/buildings which this is not. but I don't know much about the building's operation/use

[Paul McDonald @paulmcd]

@jsaif99 @MilesPerHoward this is the correct answer unless you want to walk over the bowker overpass

[Paul McDonald @paulmcd]

@pauljoy1 thank you!

[The Boston Globe @BostonGlobe]

At 18, most teens cast their first vote. In Belmont, Angus Abercrombie is the one on the ballot. https://t.co/LZxd5PYHjA

@ElleryKlein i think he's explaining it rather poorly, but surely road design influences driver behavior, no? and most roads are built such that they invite/encourage folks to drive faster than would be safe / faster than posted speed limits. would be great to change that

[Paul McDonald @paulmcd]

@pauljoy1 i think it is going well but i haven't seen the latest polling numbers! still have a few more flyers to hand out.

Belmont HS this AM - great to see how many kids are biking to school. Biking provides a huge amount of freedom and independence to kids. We need to continue enhancing safety measures throughout town so walking or biking is a viable option for more people.
