| Town of Arlington, Board of Selectmen | Daniel J. Dunn, Diane M. Mahon, Kevin F. Greeley, Steven M. Byrne, and Joseph A. Curro, Jr. | Reconstruction of Massachusetts Avenue (Arlington) | Support | Reaffirm support for Reconstruction of Massachusetts Avenue in Arlington. The design of the project was guided by the following goals: improve pedestrian and cyclist safety and mobility, improve the environment for transit users, maintain motorist mobility, minimize through traffic on local streets, create more orderly traffic flow, improve access to local businesses, and enhance the streetscape. Believes that the proposed project design meets these goals. Address the non-binding question on the ballot at the Annual Town Election on April 6, 2013. States that the question is a false choice because it ignores the complexity of the project, is non-binding so the results do not have any legal effect on the local decision-making process, and passed by a narrow margin of less than 300 votes. |
