Malden Public Works: Bellmore resumes debris pickup; ordinance and signalization grant requests advance
Summary
Public Works reported resumed contractor debris and stump pickup, proposed clarifications to the solid‑waste ordinance to reflect current practice, and sought C‑Fund engineering support for two signal projects; the committee forwarded ordinance revisions and the C‑Fund application to full council.
Public Works staff told the committee that contractor Bellmore returned to resume citywide storm debris and stump removal, focusing on the west side neighborhoods that remain (Pine Forest, Pine Valley, Ashmore Bridge). The department said east‑side cleanup is complete and the work is on track to finish by the end of the month.
Public Works also presented a rewrite of the city’s solid‑waste ordinance designed to match current operations. Staff said the draft removes obsolete language about commercial pickup no longer provided by the city, clarifies bulk‑pickup rules and defines “multifamily” as single ownership properties with nine or more units. The committee voted to forward the ordinance amendments to full council with a recommendation for approval.
Finally, staff asked for approval to submit a C‑Fund application to fund predevelopment engineering and right‑of‑way work for two signalization projects: the Hwy 276 (Knollwood/Murray) intersection and Holland Road at Bridgeway Station. The application request covers engineering, design and related preconstruction activities; construction funding would be addressed later if the projects proceed. The committee voted to forward the C‑Fund application request to full council.
