I think we should build a track over the capped land-fill at the High School so the team doesn't have to split up for meets and to increase track/field opportunities for other schools (Concord Academy, middle schools, Fenn etc ) at the Emerson Track.

Adopt complete street policies that create access to safe, comfortable and healthy multimodal transportation options including walking, bicycling and transit. Multimodal transportation should link Concord's neighborhoods, commercial districts, public transportation facilities, cultural districts, parks, bike paths, and recreational facilities.

Bike/pedestrian crossing at route 2, so people can easily travel to both sides of town, especially school aged kids riding their bikes.

More focus on our schools as shaping our students well being. Safer biking and walking.

1: Schools. And they should be evaluated by their ability to improve the psycho-social well being of our students. 2: Sidewalks :) And we need more safe walking and biking space.

We need bike lanes everywhere so we can "recreate" as we go to work, shop, etc.

All our schools but especially CCHS. Car parking there should be very limited. There should be huge bike racks, access to bike shares, moped and electric scotter sharing and parking.

Education that focused on the social and emotional needs of our youth.

High density, clustering of homes within walking distance to trains and stores. These should be in Concord Center (including Monument Street area) and West Concord. Concord Center area should be re-zoned to support this.

Economic development should be spread throughout Concord and West Concord and zoning should support that spread.

Be a revolutionary leader in being a safe biking community.

We need safe biking lanes for people of all ages throughout Concord

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!

Our schools are the foundation of our future and this model of planning leaves them out of the equation. Our youth are suffering evidence by risky behaviors and some extreme tragedies. There are compelling findings that k-12 schools (see Robert Wood Johnson) lead to better educational and psycho-social outcomes for children. Our elementary and middle schools could be repurposed as 5, k-12 schools.
