Hot Topics Before the City Council and for Ward 3

🏗️ Development & Planning
Several large development proposals, including zoning overlay requests from Boston Properties and 1265 Main are on-going, as is a special permit request for a hotel at 220 Moody St. We are also undergoing a comprehensive, citywide zoning review. We are also working on a resolution in the economic and community development committee to strengthen business growth in Waltham and we hope to create a position for a business development manager.

🚦 Traffic & Neighborhood Safety
Recently approved was the installation of a pedestrian-activated flashing beacon at Porter and Trapelo. Traffic studies and work is on-going on Silver Hill Lane, Trapelo Rd at the Belmont line, and at Lincoln St and Kings Way.

🛣️ Infrastructure & Historic Preservation
Bids are going out for significant work on restoration of the Wellington House. This aims to make use of the house for historic presentations and education and small community events.
