Build a stronger community, together.

Common Shop is a place for neighbors to come together to learn, share ideas, and work together on practical improvements to our streets, housing, businesses, transportation, and public spaces.

Strong Towns Arlington is a local conversation for residents and neighbors of Arlington, MA. This group is inspired by Strong Towns, a national nonprofit organization that examines the way our communities are built and helps give citizens the knowledge and tools to improve their cities and towns.

Our Vision

We envision a community with:

  • Vibrant neighborhoods – Thriving local business, restaurants, shopping, culture, and activities. →
  • Connected neighbors – People who know and look out for one another and participate in their community. →
  • Safe and accessible streets – People of all ages and abilities can get around comfortably by walking, biking, driving, and transit. →
  • Housing choices – Homes for people at different stages of life, household types, and income levels. →
