Transit Action Plan Meeting Thursday, Oct. 6

Special to The Advocate

The City of Malden is undertaking a Transit Action Plan (TAP) to create a community-based vision for the next 10-15 years on how to prioritize investment in the Malden multimodal transportation network. Residents are invited to join the project’s second community meeting on Thursday, Oct 6 from 6:30-8:30pm in the Malden Senior Center’s Activity Room/Gym at 7 Washington St. If you rely on public transit to get around Malden, attending this meeting is important towards making sure transit continues to support you.

This meeting is focused on the plan’s second part: Identifying Potential Mobility Strategies. Residents will be able to identify opportunities for expanding transit and active transportation, improving access to MBTA stations, and enhancing regional connectivity within and outside of Malden. After this meeting, the project’s webpage will be updated to include an in-depth summary of the work-to-date and an online survey for residents who would like to provide feedback. Public input from the survey and meeting will inform the plan’s final recommendations, which will be presented at the final community discussion taking place on Wednesday, Dec 14. More information regarding this event will be posted on the City’s website closer to the date.
