Not a speedway

We support a better Mass Ave because Arlington is a rare thing these days: a community where you can see actual human beings on the ground, going about their business as people have for thousands of years, and we need to continue to support and improve their ability to do so. 

A better Mass Ave will allow all of us, young and old, able bodied and less so, drivers, pedestrians, cyclists, stroller pushers, and the rest to be able to conduct our business (and pleasure) with some measure of equity and efficiency.

America is full of 4 lane speedways where anyone not in a car doesn't matter.  We don't need another one running through Arlington. 

Let's give humans some consideration on our main street!

Thriving local businesses

We want a better Mass Ave because we would rather walk or bike to a thriving local business district than drive to the mall.
