Look forward to a better East Arlington

The revisions on Massachusetts Avenue will improve the safety and flow of drivers, bicyclists, and pedestrians alike, while also making our East Arlington a place that people may choose as a destination, rather than as a thoroughfare.

In fact, residents and visitors may discover that we have many interesting places to visit, like a typewriter shop that supplied the vintage typewriters for the TV show "Fringe." Who knew?

I understand that we may potentially experience minor inconvenience because of a decreased lane of traffic leading out of Cambridge, but this inconvenience seems miniscule in comparison to the enormous improvements in safety and advancements for our community that this project will bring.

I look forward to a better Mass Ave and a better East Arlington!
