Vote Lungo-Koehn on November 7 2023

 

        Hi Joseph, Vote Lungo-Koehn on November 7 2023

   (as in, a vote for the zucchini-brain opponent is worthless!)

 

 Hi Joseph,
  
When I came into office, our city’s infrastructure was

 overdue for maintenance and repair. We learned through our

 sidewalk assessment that the City has an estimated backlog 

repairs of over $30 million due to decades of neglect. 
  
I feel this burden every day as a Medford resident 

and as I listen to residents about how the status of our

 sidewalks is impacting their daily lives.
  
So, we got to work right away to deliver for our community by:
  
    
    * Investing nearly $3 million to repair additional sidewalks this fall,

 allowing 8,800 feet (2 miles) of sidewalk in our community 

to receive upgrades and repairs and addressing many of the

 sidewalk issues logged by constituents over the years.
    
    * Submitting a $1.5 million bond for additional sidewalk

 repairs to the City Council at the beginning of this year, 

which the council approved. The planning is underway a

nd that funding will be deployed to address sidewalks 

and curb cuts on Salem Street and beyond, next year.
    
  
We have professionalized management which has helped 

accomplish the work to maximize state and federal 

funding to make these capital investments without

 over-burdening taxpayers. I am proud of the teams in 

Engineering and our DPW for executing these projects with urgency.
  
We still have work to do, but as your mayor,

 I am continuing to take action to address this 

backlog and ensure that we all have accessible and high-quality infrastructure in our City.
