A weekly recap of key events and items of interest to the Milton community:

Tucker Neighborhood Association forms

There is a new neighborhood association in town, the Tucker Neighborhood Association. The catalyst for this association is the current effort by the Planning Board to evaluate options regarding redevelopment of the Temple Shalom property. However, acting chair Lisa Murphy noted that the notion of an association had been percolating for some time to address concerns such as crime and traffic. You can read more about the association here.

Poll results on elder driver safety

There have been a number of tragic accidents in the last two weeks involving elderly drivers. Senator Brian Joyce of Milton has for some time been advocating for testing of drivers age 85 and older. We published a pool soliciting reader input on the issue. 71% felt the proposed legislation did not go far enough.
