Unbelievable. What a crock of shit. She's suggesting that we should allow all seniors to park for free and to let shop owners buy a special pass which allows them to bypass the entire program and go back to parking in front of their stores day in and day out.
A lot of folks will disagree but the fact is there's nothing wrong with the parking system. It take a minute but after you get used to it it works fine. Any major effort to subvert it or replace it is a waste of precious time and resources. That said I'm a big fan of a building a new parking garage. I think the real problem is that there's simply not enough parking in town to accommodate everyone.
UPDATE: complete her survey let her know this is a shit idea
to continue the donuts/breakfast line, the Demets owner/chef is very proud of his recent breakfast sandwich creation - as he should be. Here is a review I found online (not mine): "Called "The Hangover", this sandwich will cure what ails you. They take a fresh egg, bacon, cheddar cheese, hash browns, American cheese, spicy mayo, and beer battered onion ring on top of your choice of bread"
Also I add Moulton's for a neighborhood seafood restaurant. Tenoch is the standout addition to Medford, recently on a top Mexican restaurant in US list - think it tops the MA ratings. The tortas are sublime.
OpenStreetMap covers the trails pretty well. I've had a decent enough time with the Android Locus Free mapping app, which can display the OpenStreetMap maps.
There may well be better solutions...
