To the Honorable City Council:

 

I hereby request, subject to the approval of your Honorable City Council, an appropriation in the amount of $600,000 in order to fund Interim Improvements to Davis Square. The Improvements will include construction of ADA-compliant wheelchair ramps, reconstruction of sidewalks, spot repairs to sidewalks, reconstruction of crosswalks, and resetting of granite curbing in the Davis Square area. To meet said appropriation, the Treasurer will be authorized to borrow $600,000 as provided by MGL Chapter 44.

 

The Davis Square Interim Improvements is a project listed in the latest version of the Capital Investment Plan issued in June 2019.  Funding for additional improvements for Davis Square will be sought at a later time.

 

My staff will be available to answer any questions you may have. Thank you for your consideration of this matter.
