The Lincoln Squirrel ran three polls this week to gauge which community center and HCA zoning options residents preferred and if they supported allowing The Commons to build more units. All three issues will be subject to votes at the Special Town Meeting on December 2. The polls, which closed at 8 p.m. on November 29, were open to both Squirrel subscribers and nonsubscribers. With the caveat that the polls were not alt all scientific, here are the results:
Which community center option do you prefer?
Do you support allowing The Commons to build another 28 independent living units and associated parking?
Which HCA-related rezoning option do you prefer?
The polling is certainly very ‘back of the envelope’. But, we can reasonably assume that those who did vote have strong views. Many, given the input at prior meetings, are already finding the tax increase difficult, and the increase for the community center needs to be viewed in that context.
