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

Extending the Minuteman Rail Trail from the Concord/Bedford line to connect with the Bruce Freeman Rail trail near the reformatory is a great idea. Mr. Johnson is right, it would be a safe, quick alternative to the roads to get from Concord Center to West Concord Center. It would require a couple of bridges and I understand there may be some property ownership issues to address, but it's a very worthwhile idea.

It would be nice if the crossing was part of the extension of the Reformatory Branch trail. That would reduce the need to create designated bike lanes on already crowded streets, and provide a more pleasant way to travel for pedestrians and cyclists than walking along Main St.

trips to the MBTA depot locations in Concord and West Concord should be coordinated to coincide with the arrival/departure of inbound and outbound trains to integrate our local transit with metro area transit.

Start up a movie in the Scout House or 51 Walden to show old classic movies. So folks will have a reason to go out and get away from their T.V.s

The Concord Scout House is a beautiful place. It should continue to receive support and maintenance from the Town. Folk dancing run by the New England Folk Festival Association on Thursdays brings many visitors to Concord.

The libraries! They are beautiful, peaceful, warm in winter and cool in summer, and full of interesting reading and listening material and programs.

The new Bruce Freeman Rail Trail (under construction) runs right past Sanborn Middle School, but has no official path to the school. It would be great if kids who rode or walked the trail to school had easier access to the school.

Parking buses under solar panels helps reduce operating costs by reducing snow and early morning window frost removal work in winter and keeping the buses dry and out of the sun the rest of the year.

Make sure the land from the 18 local farms/10 farmstands don't get bought out by developers. Make it conducive to farm owners to be able to afford to live in and make a living in this town.

A suggestion about visibility of ideas: For first time visitors: please note that there is also a "newest" option above. Otherwise only the most supported postings get the most frequent visibility.
For CivicMoxie or coUrbanize: Consider leaving the text response posts at the bottom of the pile (ie 'how did you get here?' 'where do you shop' etc.) -- so that citizen initiated needs, desires, and suggestions get better and easier visibility, and therefore better access to discussion, support, or other feedback.
(note: I do happen to be one of the supporters of the above idea as well.)

Look at creative ways to reuse the remediated landfill at CCHS for recreation. A variety of potential uses have been suggested already. Let's study the options and be in a position to move forward when the remediation is complete.

Need to think about the future of retail in our two/three town centers. The retail environment no longer supports small local retailers very well and I am not sure it will in the future. A vibrant town center 20 years from now may look completely different, perhaps retail not as a hub, but with services and community gathering areas.

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

Some kind of shuttle all over Concord so people dont have to drive their car for a short trip or kids can have another option besides being driven.

Preserving Neighborhood Trees: I have been looking over the current drafts for vision for concord, opportunities, and the element of preserving trees and nature "within neighborhoods" is missing. The physical and mental health value of having trees within one's neighborhood should not be underestimated. Natural conservation should not be limited only to designated parcels of interest.
