In a recent Peabody City Council meeting, significant progress was made on the Peabody Greenway project, which aims to extend the bike path through the mall and onto Endicott Street. Councilor Rosignol presented a motion to authorize the necessary actions for acquiring easements and property for the project. The council approved a total of $153,700 in compensation for land affected by the project, which passed unanimously with an 11-0 vote.
The council also addressed the withdrawal of a proposed ordinance regarding sign sizes. Councilor Rosignol moved to withdraw the item from the legal affairs subcommittee, which was also approved without opposition.
No additional motions were presented by other councilors during the meeting, indicating a focus on the Greenway project and the sign ordinance withdrawal. The council's actions reflect a commitment to enhancing local infrastructure and addressing community needs.
