After 3 consecutive terms as a member of the Lexington Planning Board (3/2017-3/2026), I have decided to seek a 4th and final 3 year term on the Board.
This website (www.CreechforLexington.org) describes how I see my responsibilities, how I work and my thought process when conducting Planning Board business.
My obligations to the Town and town residents are also described.
I have provided a context that I hope will inform you about my Background and my Diligent Work on the Planning Board and I hope that you are confident in voting for me in the upcoming election on March 2, 2026.

Testimonials
"As constituents in Bob Creech’s precinct, and having attended Planning Board meetings for several years, we have seen firsthand that Bob always advocates for thoughtful development and thoughtful design. He comes to meetings well prepared with ideas, proposals, and presentations, and a genuine interest in and willingness to work with the community. He visits neighborhoods to better understand how residents would be affected by proposed development.
Bob supports increasing the diversity of our housing stock and furthering Lexington’s commercial goals while applying a keen understanding of the effects of bylaws. He has vision and foresight on how best to plan for the healthy long-term future of our town.
We need his steady, measured approach, his depth and breadth of knowledge, and his many years of experience to help navigate next steps at this critical juncture of development and infrastructural change in Lexington. We strongly support Bob’s candidacy for re-election to the Planning Board."
Andreas and Helen Theodosiou
"Bob has consistently been considerate and respectful of residents’ input and concerns. He does his homework and devotes the time and effort necessary to thoroughly review proposals before the board. I especially appreciate that, as both a Planning Board member and a Town Meeting member, Bob voted in favor of Article 2 to reduce the acreage of by-right MBTA zoning.
"I support Bob for the Planning Board. His institutional knowledge will be vital, and we need both a steady voice of reason and a strong advocate for residents."
J. Helen Yang
"Mr Creech favors communication, transparency and inclusion of residents. He supported 2025’s Article 2 to reduce MBTA zoned acreage to manageable levels, and he honored the compromise reached with Article 2 proponents by refraining from adding the Lexington Center acreage back in. He has acknowledged residents’ concerns across multiple Planning Board hearings for multiple of the MBTA developments, while also supporting the need for additional housing.
"Mr Creech was also the only Planning Board member to support the 2023 McKenna Amendment to Article 34 which would have lowered the MBTA zoned acreage. I support Mr Creech’s re-election – his depth of knowledge, ability to consider different stakeholders’ viewpoints and ability to balance competing priorities would be assets for the Planning Board."
Sumitra Sujanani
"I started watching Planning Board hearings about 2 years ago when proposals under the “MBTA Communities Act” zoning first started to come forward to the Planning Board. I’ve always been impressed with how thorough Bob Creech’s process has been – he often visits proposal sites independent of the group site visit, takes photos, overlays graphics, and creates his own slides.
"At last week’s Planning Board hearing for 475 Bedford Street (the old Boston Sports Club), Bob had researched and compiled several condo. buildings, some from the developer, and many from other developers. He presented these other examples from a slide show which he created, and discussed the need to avoid making the buildings at 475 Bedford Street look “cookie cutter” and pointed out that the cost of these units will most likely cost more than what the developer reported when asked based on the research he presented.
"Being a member on the Planning Board takes a lot of time and preparation, as it should. Bob consistently goes over and above what I would consider typical of any volunteer in any position for the town of Lexington.
"Bob also voted “Yes” on Article 2 in 2025 to scale back the acreage Town Meeting passed for the “MBTA Communities Act” because he values thoughtful planning, not just zoning. There are 3 candidates for 2 Planning Board positions. Please do your research – what does thoughtful planning mean to you in how it shapes a community? Who listens to residents? Who supported Article 2? Who can balance the housing needs of the community and state while also considering infrastructure needs and resident input? If you haven’t watched a Planning Board hearing, I suggest you do, the meetings are usually pretty interesting and you can see first hand how the process works; they are held virtually every other Wednesday. Please vote on March 2nd, this is the only contested town-wide board position, and your vote matters!"
