Streets and sidewalks

Can there be any validity in councilors and those seeking office discussing streets and sidewalks, a major talking point every year while campaigning, after giving Bobby Moylan a substantial raise?

Ten year plan

The lack of a homelessness "Ten Year Plan" means the city can't qualify for certain federal funding. Will you task the homeless taskforce with creating a ten-year-plan?

Transportation and economic vitality

Submitted by Anonymous on February 22, 2007 - 11:06pm.

Are there plans to increase incentives for using alternative modes of transportation such as walking, bicycling and public transit? If the city offered free bus rides during non-peak hours, maybe this would increase economic activity in the city.

Church Bells on Main Street

This might sound like a trivial matter but it can get pretty annoying. The church bells (don't know the church's name - opposite 906 Main) is very loud and goes on for 10 minutes. Can that be changed?

pedestrians access and safety

How can you address access for individuals ability to get around Worcester on sidewalks when cars block curb cuts and ramps for the disabled? Snow plows push snow so that people who are unable to drive and must walk have difficulty walking by legal means. Cars park on sidewalks with little or no enforcement of laws. This isolates those who are unable to get around as pedestrians.
