I just recently moved to Attleboro and, although I love the area, I do not like that there are no alternative Internet providers other than Comcast. I did read in the Sun that the absence of FiOS is not for lack of trying. The article stated that Verizon was not interested in coming to Attleboro. However, we could petition other companies such as AT&T's Fiber service and/or Google Fiber (https://fiber.google.com/about/). Google has a great incredibly fast and reliable Internet/TV/Phone service which has improved the economies where they have been installed. We could attract many young home buyers to Attleboro with an offering like Google Fiber (as an example, perhaps many Boston employees would look at living in Attleboro to get great Internet service and they're right around the corner from the train station). This is just a preliminary thought and I know that it's easier said than done but I at least wanted to make the suggestion.

I'm pretty sure SOWA, LLC is going to be withdrawn without prejudice but we need a Denny's here and there's no one going to do about it. And for a proposed bank, I suggest Bank Newport since Chase withdrew the application last year. So please, renew this "Shops on Washington" thing at once and get Denny's open in time.

We feel isolated from the rest of the community without sidewalks. The kids can't walk to a friend's house. We can't go for a walk after dinner, wave to neighbors we haven't met, and probably never will. I will gladly give up two feet of my front yard to have a sidewalk.

Ad decent size fountain on highland park with sitting benches may be in connection or nearby with amphitheater, create some tiled walk / hang out space in between with benches and in connection with walking trail. This park needs more entertainment for younger families with kids or teens. not just average Park /Park.

Speed limits and stop signs ... why are they posted along the roads? They help regulate traffic, they're for safety. They come attached to laws that when disobeyed carry a financial penalty by way of fines. If "law-abiding" citizens can't be bothered with obeying traffic laws (e.g., stopping at a red light before turning right), then The City of Attleboro should cash in on that! With people driving the correct speeds, that will reduce road noise pollution and improve the quality of life in what would otherwise be a quiet neighborhood.

Hello, I feel as a Attleboro resident we have a great opportunity to create a something more exciting than another truck getting stuck under our bridges. Riverfront drive is a perfect opportunity to have a downtown that fellow residents and job owners deserve. The streets, trains, buses, lights, parking and open spaces already looks like a downtown. Personally I feel we have enough apartments and offices that no one will maintain or care for in a few years. Todays downtowns are a place for people to appreciate small business that fellow residents have established. We can make it something that people will want to come and spend time at. We could provide a place with plenty of parking for restaurants, small coffee shops and books stores. A place where we can easily shut the street down for weekly farmers markets, bring back Wednesday nite markets and winter fest. Let’s do something new rather than tossing in another apartment complex that will grow old continue congestion our downtown.

I would like to propose a solution to relieve excessive backups at the intersection of Scott St and Washington St which is caused by traffic attempting to make a left turn south bound onto Washington St.
The backups peak in the afternoon as homebound MBTA travelers are leaving the South Attleboro train station, and periodically throughout the rest of the day. All day passage of vehicles bound for and returning from the Bristol Place shopping center also attract a steady flow of traffic east & west bound on Collins St. where it intersects with Scott St near Washington St, travelers use this as an alternative to using Newport Ave and I-95.
This intersection has had several traffic accidents in recent years, public safety is a principle concern at this intersection, with left turning traffic frequently conflicting with the main flow on Washington street.
The quality of life for the residents of the neighborhood would improve with this section of road being paved and passable.

If Attleboro wants to get ahead of the Cannabis Industry curve, we have to get involved! As more towns and cities are adopting their acceptance, it would be in the best interest of the city to start opening up shops. Bristol County Wellness Center is one dispensary looking to open up in Attleboro, but Attleboro has a large population and more need to get involved. As we look at other towns and cities with dispensaries already, you can see the revenue these businesses are bringing to these areas. By adopting the Cannabis Industry there is revenue to be made; this means there is a higher chance of higher taxes to bring money into our city

A fast growing sport, that doesn’t require a lot of maintenance. Disc golf is one of the only sports Attleboro doesn’t have a hold on yet. The code that disc golfers keep is (1: Play smart. Never throw into a blind area or when players, spectators, pedestrians, or other facility users are within range. Use a spotter.) (2: Respect the Course. Observe all posted rules. No littering, graffiti, or abuse of equipment or Flora.) (3: Represent the Sport. Be positive and responsible. Teach others.) There are currently 1,345 members of the Professional Disc Golf Association (PDGA) in Ma. alone, 16 of which reside in Attleboro. The sport covers a wide variety of age groups, 35% of PDGA members are in their 30s, 18% are in their 40s and 27% are in their 20s. Teens make up 7% and 50-65+ make up 13%. The sport helps to preserve the land and provides the community with a fun way to exercise. If designed right, the course could even be on the professional tour. Good economy booster for Attleboro.

Recently there has been many vehicles approximately every few seconds throughout the late hour into the morning hours traveling up and down main street.. Many more than everage. My concern is that residents may be traveling in and out of states that have recent openings. The covid pandemic is still very much a danger. And these travelers may possibly be bringing back covid19 disease back into the community. Because of excessive travel. There are many in the town still not wearing masks while walking in groups as well. My idea would be to close after a certain hour the main street area to enforce a curfew on the access road to go in and out of the state. It is evident that travelers in the night are no going anywhere in Attleboro because nothing here is open.so maybe a closing of main street between certain hours would be a great idea and help impede the traveling back and fourth it would certainly reduce the risk of covid infection in our town.

A memo of sorts should be sent to all restaurants with drive thru windows encouraging them to have garbage cans that customers can drive up to. They should also encourage customers to keep their trash in their vehicles, throw it away at home. There's no reason anyone should feel free to toss their Dunkin coffee cup, sandwich wrappers, Taco Bell box or McDonald's drinking cup out of their window as they drive through our town.
