MBTA Cuts, Running for Fargo’s Seat and Walden Grille’s License
A look back at the most notable stories of the past week.
Feelings of discontent filled the Board of Selectmen chamber this week as MBTA spokesperson Wayne Miller related proposed cuts in service to the Concord area. Town officials decried the ideas, wondering if they were absolutely necessary, and urged residents to write to state lawmakers to express their own feelings.
Those wondering what was happening with the Walden Grille’s liquor license received their answer on Monday night. Jack Grant, who manages the restaurant’s license, told the Board of Selectmen that he intends to sell the license to another buyer.
State Senator Susan Fargo announced on Friday that she will not seek a ninth term, drawing varied comments from Concord Patch readers. Meanwhile, Concord resident Mara Dolan announced on Saturday her intentions to run for Fargo’s seat.
The bus transportation issue continues to be a hot topic, as another letter writer to Patch drew some conversation.
