Sidewalk, Drainage and Platform Safety Orders

At a glance

What: Council orders on sidewalk and drainage conditions and a safety barrier at the city railroad platform, reviewed by engineering and DPW.
Where it stands: On November 9 the committee closed the Northampton Street sidewalk order as complied with (Chapter 90 funding approved, west-side work expected this fall), the Martin Street and Westfield Road sidewalk order as complied with (no changes recommended), and the Homestead Avenue and Meyer Drive flooding order as complied with (a utility pole through a drainage pipe is to be corrected by the gas and electric utility). The railroad platform barrier order was given leave to withdraw with a referral to police.
Next: Engineering will monitor drainage after repairs; any physical improvements recommended by police can be coordinated with DPW.
