Thank you to everyone who voted, volunteered, and donated to the cause of a better Mass Ave.
According to unofficial results, there were 4,097 NOs versus 4,334 YESes in the nonbinding referendum that tried to derail the Mass Ave project.
It's better to win than to lose, but the strong support for the three-lane compromise plan in this election is more than we needed.
It is also more than some of us expected given the deliberately misleading wording of the ballot question.
Significantly, voters also reelected Kevin Greeley to the Board of Selectmen by a vote of 4,626–3,355.
Kevin has been a tremendous supporter of Mass Ave and East Arlington and his election over Mass Ave opponent Maria Romano means that the Selectmen remain unanimously in favor of moving forward.
Thanks and congratulations to all!
