On February 22
nd, 2021, I wrote to the Board of Selectmen, saying that when the Planning and Zoning Commission held its public hearings on the new library, I would have a plan ready to present, which would show the 1913 building remaining in its current place, working harmoniously with the new library building.
I do have that plan ready, but I am making a few adjustments to it based on observations and input from members of the Board of Selectmen and Town Council. But, before finalizing and releasing it, and then describing my own “Saving 1913” Library Plan, I have evaluated the new library’s own “Town Green” plan, a copy of which is attached. In my opinion, it is a profoundly, and fundamentally, flawed plan in many respects, just as is, with or without any attempt to retain any portion of the current 1913 library building. My observations and evaluation are described below.

MBTA must restore crucial bus lines

The Tâs plan to cut service was a disaster for equity, hitting Black, brown, and low-income neighborhoods hardest. Iâm glad that the MBTA has announced that itâs reversing course. But weâre also hearing that it may be months before service is restored on key bus lines, like routes 18, 55, and 68. These lines were canceled effective March 14, even as public outcry demanded service restoration.
There are thousands of Bostonians who depend on the T. Folks who have no choice, like essential workers trying to get to their jobs, elders going grocery shopping, people getting medical care or vaccines. If the bus is canceled, these transit-dependent riders and essential workers will have to call an expensive ride-hailing service or risk losing their jobs. Their transportation costs go up exponentially.
