Arlington is asking residents to complete a survey that will be part of an initiative to create a community master plan for the town. Copies of the survey, which is being conducted by the Arlington Vision 2020 Committee, were recently mailed out with the town census; the deadline for responses is March 16. Survey responses will be part of a report that will begin preparations by the town to create a long-term view of Arlington’s future. The master plan process is expected to take three to five years. The survey can also be found online at www.arlington.ma.gov/vision2020. - Brock Parker
