New survey seeks input on the future of South Lincoln

May 18, 2021

Residents are invited to fill out a new survey asking for thoughts on development at Lincoln Station.

For the last two years, the Planning Board has been considering changes to the zoning in South Lincoln in the area around the Mall at Lincoln Station and the commuter rail station. The goal is to encourage more diversity in housing in that area (especially with the advent of the Housing Choice Act) as well as commercial activity, services, and amenities in and around the mall. Some residents have expressed concern about the size of the area proposed for rezoning, the density and scale of permitted buildings, and the impact of development on traffic and Lincoln’s finances.

To give officials a clearer sense of public sentiment on these topics, please take the survey at tinyurl.com/villagecentersurvey. To request a paper survey, call 781-259-2610. The deadline to participate is June 30.
