Please quantify "infrequently". I use this piece of roadway almost ever time I drive into Concord center. If you are driving from Lexington Road and want to go to the Milldam, West Concord, or Sudbury Road, this is the way to go.

Parking is needed. And more frequent and flexible trains. Current trains are only efficient for the AM and PM commute. At other times smaller train consists or individually powered cars could provide more frequent service economically. The tracks are valuable infrastructure making more use of them by running rail traffic makes sense. Smaller trains would not block intersections in Concord as long and frequent daytime service would be helpful to commuters who might need to return to Concord during the day.

Concord Center, seems to be losing its vitality as shops close.

A significant way to address this is to make the center itself an experience. Walking, lingering, having commodious places to sit, to eat, to talk. Imagine places where our restaurants could have tables outside. Our stores could have displays where folks could take their time.

Consider widening the sidewalks on the Milldam and Walden street by getting rid of street parking. With signage, direct cars to our parking lots (and negotiate more spaces from private sources) to offset the loss of on-street parking.

The current traffic lanes would remain.

Install electric vehicle charging stations at the Keyes Road Parking lot. Designate some for daily employees parking for the day and others for short-term visitor parking to encourage turnover for local business shopping.

I agree that we could connect the Bruce Freeman Rail Trail to the Minuteman Trail. Safe bikeways for commuters are a valuable resource. Before I retired I commuted from Concord to Hanscom AFB by bike and a rail trail would have been safer and faster.

East Concord could use a bulletin board for neighbors to communicate

Thank you. However, I think one may be needed near Concord Center or East Concord as well. What I have in mind is not 'hot weather' type of emergencies, but unexpected and more urgent emergencies - hurricanes, tornadoes, and even military emergencies.. In any case, we may need one for other parts of town as well.

Add 5 MWh of energy storage to the solar array at WR Grace to balance load and allow more solar installations throughout town.

There are stunning numbers of kids who drive to CCHS. The car parking should be limited and expensive. We need multitudes of bike racks, scooter racks. We could collaborate with HubWay of other organizations to make even electric bikes available to our kids. And then give them huge incentives for using them. And, of course, we need safe biking lanes throughout Concord!

I agree, the current uses of the old landfill are valid ecologically sensitive uses of that site. Green space and conservation easements are not the universal solution.

Mark Hanson
Land uses that are compatible with environmental improvement such as composting or providing school bus parking closer to CCHS and thereby reducing diesel fuel use by simplifying / reducing total bus miles traveled as presented in 2016 during the discussion of Article 16 are compatible with the spirit of Thoreau's philosophy. Parking buses there under solar panels would be a good step toward meeting the goals of reducing CO2 emissions.

Continue to increase access to the West Concord waterfront through trails, interpretive features, picnic spots or boat launches/fishing piers, but maintain natural aesthetic.
