robert solomon | Newton MA News and Politics BlogFor the past year or so, community activist Robert Solomon has been doggedly documenting problems with accessibility and pedestrian safety especially in Newton Highlands.

Often his TAB columns run too long for this generally-impatient reader. But the richness of his content and passion is incontestable.

In his latest TAB column, Solomon looks at crossing problems along Lincoln Street, but he also offers suggestions.

But Solomon isn’t just someone who complains. He was also the force behind Trolley Operators Appreciation Day, which happened (much to the surprise and delight of Green Line drivers) back in June.

Our community is very fortunate to have people like Robert Solomon. Feel free to suggest other local activists you admire in the comment section below.
