Malden Safe Streets Announcement

Malden Safe Streets (MSS) is proud to endorse Yes! For Malden (YfM). As an organization formed around a commitment to accessibility and walkability for all, we recognize the important role that our city government plays in meeting these goals. MSS has successfully partnered with the city in supporting infrastructure grants, advocating for Safe Routes to School, expanding our multi-use path network, and much more. There is still much work to be done, and we will not hesitate to push our city leaders to go further, do more, invest wisely, and budget sensibly. But we know that our goals are not achievable unless the city has the revenue it needs to invest in the community and provide the level of services that make Malden a great place to live, work, and recreate. The Prop 2 ½ override is a modest increase in our property taxes that will allow the budget to keep pace with rising costs. The Malden Safe Street’s board urges our friends and neighbors to vote yes!

A quote from Allie Durak, President of Malden Safe Streets: “To keep Malden’s streets safe and accessible to all it’s important we invest in our existing infrastructure and update problem areas. As a community we need to stabilize the economic hole we’re in and prevent a downward spiral of budget deficits and cuts. Let’s invest and keep Malden’s future proud and strong!”
