Parking is and always will be a major concern in Medford Square. We have limited space for the introduction of off street parking facilities, other than the one planned for Governors Avenue. One of the greatest attractions our city has to offer, besides its great history, is the Mystic River. I support the suggestion that a so-called river walk be introduced. I would support mixed use of the properties fronting on Medford Square's main streets. However, without provision for adequate off street parking, the residential use of the upper floors of commercial buildings is unrealistic. I will continue to work with our business community as well as our city and state officials to mitigate these important components of our master plan.
