WATERTOWN — A motion asked city staff for monthly counts of 311 reports tied to Mount Auburn Street construction; it was seconded, and no vote tally was recorded. Member Hannah described a cistern blocking a bus stop and contractor equipment across a sidewalk on the MassDOT project. A staff member known as Zeke said DPW confirmed striping at the Arlington Street, Nichols Avenue and Greenway intersection this spring.
Councilor Gardner told members the council expects a "postmortem" on snow shoveling enforcement from the administration. The committee's letter on the ordinance is moving through City Manager George Proakis's office. Members also set Get Out Your Bike for May 16 and a June or July police enforcement discussion.
