Speak calmly and you will be heard
Two years ago, my husband and I bought our first home. One of the reasons we chose Edison and our particular house is because we are now within walking distance of the Edison train station. As a new Edison resident, I have been interested in following community issues, as much as my little daughters will allow.

I attended an InterCap presentation as well as the first Edison Community Association (ECA) meeting regarding the proposed Edison train station project. I believe any citizen who truly desires to be informed about an issue should be willing to hear all sides of an issue and try to discern facts.

As a newcomer, I found the introductions at the ECA meeting helpful. Fromhis letter, the author of the "Towns need pedestrianfriendly projects" (Sentinel, May 28) sounds as if he were the man who was disruptive at the beginning of the ECAmeeting. If he had waited his turn to speak calmly, he may have made a very positive contribution to the meeting. Later in themeeting, someone commented that they wished he had stayed and spoken at the appropriate time. I agreed, as did many.
