Retail businesses across the country are struggling. We need to identify the products and services that Concord residents (and tourists) most need and would prefer to buy in person and not on-line. Households are paying more attention to sustainable products.

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.

This one is random... One of the things that I love about this town which was why I moved back after growing up here is the abundance of outdoor activity options and the rich history. There so many ways to interconnect trails in this town and many beautiful streets abutting famous historical sites. There are also a # of people who love being active and enjoy these trails and roads... Lots of towns sponsor half marathons and other distance runs. Why not host either a half marathon trail which incorporates some of the historical sites, or a trail run which connects some of the beautiful land around town... We could use any proceeds to invest back into the town's infrastructure and continue fostering an outdoor lifestyle...

...or provide last mile transportation that connect neighborhoods to the commuter rail express trains. You don't need parking if a "school bus" type system has a pickup timed to take you from your neighborhood to the WC or C depot in time for the 8:03!

This is very important--we need to invest in building resilience in the long term. This includes recharging storm water, incentivizing water reuse and conservation, reducing impervious cover. These things will pay off in the long run in terms of healthy aquatic systems, less flooding, and sustainable drinking water supplies.

And park the buses under solar panels to keep them out of the weather and over the course of a year generate the power they'll use. And don't park them here, but park them under solar panels at the schools. It's a good way to educate our children about conservation and reduce our bus transport operating costs at the same time.

Jon... I trail run back there too. I completely agree with you. Great opportunities to connect trails.

I would love this as I trail run all the time. Currently you can connect the Old Rifle Range, to the Rail Trail, to White Pond and back up onto the land behind Verrill Farm. It would be nice to be able to connect the Rifle Range with the conservation land on the other side as well...

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.

Continue to increase access to the West Concord waterfront through trails, interpretive features, picnic spots or boat launches/fishing piers, but maintain natural aesthetic.
West Concord Village, Thoreau Street, Main Street Concord Center - retail needs to focus more on residents not tourists! More restaurant options with variety and outside seating!
