What Would You Build in Arlington?

Arlington, MA - Earlier this week, Arlington Patch asked our Facebook readers what they would build or fix in town if they were given $1 million.

Readers from across the area responded with answers varying from new playgrounds, renovated high schools and improved hospitals.

Also early this week, U.S. News and World Report released its list of the Top 10 Children’s Hospitals Across the Country. The hospitals were ranked in terms of “clinical outcomes,” “efficient coordination of care,” and “care-related resources.”

The publication periodically releases lists regarding the best schools in the country as well as most livable cities. Many of the things that make a town or city ‘livable’ are resources and public spaces i.e. good schools, roads, parks, libraries, etc. Not surprisingly, these were many of the things readers said they would build or fix in their town if granted $1 million to do so.

Here’s what your neighbors said they would build in Arlington:

• "New Senior Center"
• "The trees along the street or road. Some of the trees were planted by town around 1970. All those olds trees need trimmed down to a small tree before the storm hit the town trees."
• "New senior center, and accessible to them with parking."
