What is the plans for revitalizing Pleasant St in Malden, MA ?

Winter is here and my concerns are the streets getting plowed the right way. It is hard to use my driveway when I plow before work and by the time I get home my driveway is blocked. The plow trucks come by and plow and it leaves mounds of snow so heavy we can't snowblow it or shovel it. I take the time to clear myself out a
s di many others to have the DPW trucks plow and block it. We are not all youngsters anymore and at time shoveling heavy snow is just to much. At my age I can do a small sidewalk path and my driveway but have to pay the local kids to do the rest. I know I can't be the only resident who has this problem.

Are you getting rid of the Pay per throw system? It has always been inconvenient but now with Johnny's Foodmaster gone it is even more inconvenient. It seems the only place left who supplies bags is the Stop & Shop and often times the bags are unavailable there and you have to go back to get them. Why can't we switch to the trash system they have in Medford?

I want to know about the Camera's. We definatley need them. Also will the public have access to them such as other cams that are acessable by internet. More eyes.

What is going to happen with this years residential exemption? Will it be 30%

Council passed it last week on the Mayors request. Saw it on MATV.

Best thing you have said yet "AnnieOMalden and Apple are on the same page" maybe there is a sanity clause David

You're just a little late to the party, Apple.

Better late than never. Ha Ha

Better wear a helmet.

I don't remember the previous mayor doing any of these. I also only remember public meetings with the last mayor when they were forced upon him. This mayor is trying and returns phone calls too.

1) Baseball Field Update or has the dream of fields or fields of dream died?
2) Reconsider the Middlesex Street reversed route; take a poll if you want to because this clearly goes against common sense?
3) More Crime Sweep like the last one? Any new initiatives to address the crime situation?
Or should we just get used to live with the random shooting here and there with a sprinkle of occasional bank robberies and o so often break ins and burglaries.
4) When will we hear about the Blue bags update? Every Monday morning is a new experience trying to put bags in bags and not tearing the blue bags, which is clearly the worst quality bag in the state if not the country or the world.
5) Parking Program Update?

And lastly thank you for raising the tax exemption from 20% to 30%.
To make up for the revenue lost, please consider doubling or at least raising the tax on non-owner occupied absentee landlord multi-family housing units.

I'm surprised the patch hasn't covered the answer to question 1 ) http://www.boston.com/yourtown/malden/2012/11/29/lease-agreement-opens-way-build-baseball-stadium-malden-pact-advances-malden-stadium-plan/UJY7gAK8F6xX4n9Gp2SREM/story.html

is the field going to be restricted to baseball teams or are other sports going to be able to use it

mr. mayor, please just keep the citizens informed on as much as you can,even if it is unpopular, you will definitely get more respect for not hiding things and keeping us informed on things we ask about.i am sure sometimes you will come across topics that will make you uncomfortable but like so many politicians do when that happens,don't ignore it, the people notice these things, thanks from someone who wants you to have great success running this city.

I love our Mayor !!! My mother's neighborhood was becoming very scary and he has had it flooded with the police since my email to him from my sisters and I. Thank you and keep up the good work. I recommend anyone with concerns for their family's neighborhood to contact the mayors office and tell them the problem. It worked well for us and I'm sure it can for everyone.

I have 2 questions for the Mayor.
1. How do I apply for the residential tax exemption?
2. On trash day the recycle bins are not completely emptied and there seems to be more trash on the street also. Who do I contact about this?
