I know there has been a lot of discussion back and forth about a parking garage. I agree with you about the bus connections. As I understand it, the idea is to create a T stop more like Davis Square where people walk & bus to the stop rather than Alewife where people drive to get there. Hi Jeff – thanks for your comment.

No one outside in the immediate neighborhood is going to use it unless bus connections to Woburn-Winchester-Arlington-Belmont-Somerville and Medford are added. Especially winchester should develop a local bus connection that runs all day till about 12 am - to allow for late night commuters, and people coming home from events in the city to be able to get back to the center of town. I am worried about the lack of connecting transit options , and the amount of street traffic in the Winchester area that will increase with people driving to the station to drop off, pick up. Also there will be long lines of people idling on the side of the street, and in the immediate area, waiting to pick people up and drop off. Creating traffic around that area. A comprehensive bus system should be developed to allow people to use the station with minimal disruption to the neighborhood.
