Malden receives funds for street improvements
A grant of $249,750 from the Shared Streets and Spaces Program grant of the Massachusetts Department of Transportation (MassDOT) has been awarded to Malden.
Local print shops can help spread the news of such beneficial funding with flyers and other printed materials.
These funds provide money to help towns and cities in Massachusetts to design and implement changes to intersections and streets to improve their safety and make them more welcoming for members of the community. The city will use this funding to build a pedestrian plaza in the neighborhood of Bell Rock, new curb ramps at 17 intersections citywide that are ADA-compliant, and to install crosswalks at 59 locations citywide.
State Senator Jason Lewis expressed his pleasure that the city is receiving this grant as it will expand accessibility in the city and increase safety for pedestrians, cyclists, and drivers. State Representative Paul Donato was also excited about this important funding that will provide more zones friendly to walkers in the city and more ramps that are ADA-compliant.
Gary Christenson, mayor of Malden, said that the city is proud to be a walkable one. He expressed his thanks to the city’s delegation to the state for their commitment to enhancing the city’s sidewalk, road, and traffic signal accessibility. He added that this grant ensures that residents of the city will benefit from safe access to recreation, parks, shops, and restaurants.
