Traffic will back up through here and cars will stream through our small neighborhood and narrow streets to avoid lights at Grove. What will be done to prevent this?

Except the Street has had considerable retail turnover since it was built. Can the area support the retail proposed?

I would like to see the connection between the villages of Newton Lower Falls and Auburndale strengthened instead of severed. I think this is an opportunity for the two communities to have the gape (128) bridged is a way that has not yet been presented.

Do not destroy the quality of life of the two nearby neighborhoods- with traffic and something that feels like it belongs at the Natick Mall and not here

My aspiration for the riverside site is that my special lower falls neighborhood is not destroyed by traffic. The exit off 95 in either direction should not turn into the same situation as exit 17 off the Pike.

My aspirations for the riverside site is that it's size and density is scaled to what matches the surrounding residential areas.

I would like to see river access for the residents of the new apartments, and for residents of the existing neighborhood. Also, link it up to other river paths. People who live at the Comm Ave apartments, people who live on Charles Street, people who use the canoe and kayak rental, etc., should NOT have to walk all the way around. They should be able to walk along the river to get to Riverside station. I doubt people even know they can take the green line to Riverside and walk over to the canoe and kayak rentals. Many cities and towns, Waltham included, have made sure to utilize the space along the Charles River for recreation. Why can't we do the same?
