Bedford 2020
My main issue with my town of Bedford is the great road which is just that. A really big road that cuts through the entire town. It is a class B highway because of how many people use it to get through the town to the highway.
Because of all of the traffic both sides of the road have developed into shopping plazas that follow the great snake all through the town. My vision for Bedford 2020 is a town without this "great road"
There is a really strong cycling community in Bedford so I image a town where the road is used for cyclists who want to get out for exercise and get around town. A public transportation system would fulfill the need of more serious transportation. The great road would be done away with and no longer would Bedford serve as a highway between Concord and Lexington.

will be great if 'great road' can become walking/biking connector, with perhaps a circuit bus for transit of shoppers with packages... main transit can circle out by airfield and transit depot. A good vision. thanks for post

You might be interested in a book called Street Reclaiming by David Engwicht. It demonstrates ways to make streets more of a part of your community, by personalizing them. It's really beautiful stuff.

Also, before you come up with solutions, it might be useful to consider the root of the problem, and the highest goals you have. We often tend to think we know what's going on, and jump to conclusions, but without exploring the issue deeply, it's not easy to know what's at the heart of the problem.

public servants
The exchange works directly for state and public workers and servants. It gives them credit in exchange for the amount of public work they contribute to the community. The more constructive they are based off a base rate the more credit they recieve.
