At a glance

- What: petition by Michael Kollios (filed March 2023) for a new sidewalk in front of 360 May St.; DPW found three small gaps in the network between Pleasant St. and Chandler St.
- Where it stands: the Public Works Committee recommended approval 3-0 on 2026-07-21, and the City Council adopted the order 9-0 on 2026-08-18.
- Next: construction depends on funding; Jay Mello will raise it at the Safe Routes to School task force.
The project
- About 220 feet of new sidewalk with wheelchair ramps, about $21,400.
- DPW recommended approval with the abutter betterment waived, because the sidewalk improves connectivity to schools.
- John K. Westerling and Mello suggested working with the school department to build a program to pursue school-adjacent sidewalks. The same approach was suggested for the odd side of Lovell St. (see Street and Sidewalk Rehabilitation Process).
