I won’t be there so use my seat, I have another commitment.I hope it is well attended and generates lots of discussion. My last charette was one concerning Epping Road.It remains in my opinion, a mess. Felder is going to build how many more buildings? A renter has to live there  while that goes on? I live near the site and there was blasting I swear all  Summer. Ask my  dog. I am assuming some of the  work force housing will be occupied by those that work nights.

When  we will stop blaming the recent economic downturn for what amounts to decades of property owner neglect ?

Take a drive on  Route 1 with a critical eye.

Questions for  Charette

I had heard that  the building at 97 Lincoln   has a second floor that  was not authorized and it is only to be used for storage. Who checks that? This the tiny building next to the  American Legion Hall.

Some feel the Goupil baggage  building deal is the wrong deal. We should buy Gerrys. It is the station and still has it’s fireplace  hidden behind a wall.

It will be difficult for business owners to attend but there is great  interest in the outcome. How will we engage the owners? I hope Mr Burnham attends. Why does the map on the town web site not reflect  all the buildings?

Some of  Mr Burnham’s property seems  to be missing from the map.

Can some time be spent on alternative sites for the dumpsters at the head of the avenue, please. If we do nothing else can we at least get the dumpsters moved?

Do we have to wait for a business with a drive thru component  to buy the defunct bank? The tax card has a value on the pneumatic tube  devices? Weird.

6 Portsmouth Ave comments while you are here.

The  picture in the paper of the new Provident Bank building on Portsmouth Ave was a tightly cropped photo.

I am  dismayed that the home next to the Hilton is not being razed . It is a stretch to  call that professional office space  today.  It’s an old house. That  the hospital could not make a deal on that entire parcel still puzzles me.

Auto Part Stores see no retail traffic and really are warehouses that could be sited  someplace other than  prime retail.

I want all my readers to go buy something at the Gandolfo’s  New York Deli, spread the word. Try the joint, make  their day.

Please stop using the  freight  entrance to Stop & Shop to enter from the North  or exit to the South ( Town) Use the intersection. It’s safer for us all.

Blocking of driveways  and streets approaching Dunkin Donuts from Town needs to be discouraged with signage.

Check your smoke detectors, they are on sale  everywhere. You are on your own.
