The Future of Newton

We will be discussing development issues on tonight's episode of Common Ground. Will pursuit of tax revenue lead to dense new development that exacerbates overcrowding in our schools and traffic on our streets or will a vision of sustainable growth take hold of our planning process? As part of tonight's discussion, we'll look at the proposed Riverside and Newton Centre ("Firefighter's Triangle") developments in addition to examining the big picture questions.

The show will be live at 8:00 PM on NewTV's Blue Channel. Panelists will include Alderman Greer Swiston, John Sisson, co-cahir of Newton Villages, Newton Centre Neighborhood/Parent Activist Lisa Ganley-Leal, and Josh Krintzman, President of the Newton Lower Falls Neighborhood Association.
