They actually repaired it I was home when they fixed it. It wasn't huge but when I back out I always hit it. Thanks again for your quick response.

I remember a party in the afternoon when a DPW worker drank a case of beer then went back to work. He would be a nice person to introduce to Diana Boo-Boo as they would have a lot in common. The Town Line will be rocking.

Last week I wrote to Bob Knox about having some extra trash barrels put in Trafton Park near the tennis courts - he said they would be there that day. When we went to the dog park that evening there they were. Great response - now let's hope the park visitors use them!

I have a small issue with traffic at the Rte 60/Fellsway East intersection. Near the Catholic church. When I am heading towards Medford on Fellsway East and come to the light at Rte 60 there is clealy a sign there stating "Left Lane for Left Turn Only" yet every time I am cut off and hollered at by people in that lane going straight to continue on Fellsway East. Is this a Malden issue or a State Police issue? Can we have the lane marked with left turn arrows on the ground?

Hi Jennifer , The Fellsway is state you can contact the DCR at either 781-438-9888 or 617-626-1413 and they can direct you. If you have any further questions please feel free to contact me at rknox@cityofmalden.org
Thanks

Jennifer....I called the State Police....when I told them of your dilemma, they spilled coffee and powdered sugar all over themselves. They were outraged. "OMG Jennifer....we will be right there....help is on the way!"

Bob,
It is Bob Miller, how are you doing in your new position? I can remember when you worked for the Medford Housing Authority, boy we go back further than that, don't we? My question is what is your department pickup schedule at the parks for trash barrels? Is it still on a daily basis? Also the ones in other parts of the city? Thanks, and have a great weekend.

Um, interesting...the Mayor says MTFA has been part of this PAYT panel. I understand Bob just got invited this week, after a number of meetings, due to a "communications snafu".

when is the last time you made a positive comment on a message board...Ever? It could be 80 and sunny and you still bitch about the weather. Something positive maybe 2 out of 100 times might help your stress level

I have made positive comments...just don't like it when the admin is making it seem one way when it is another. Maybe you don't care about certain issues or integrity. I call them as I see them. This is still America, right?

Please have the city repair the 2 blocks of Essex St. They are a complete mess. Thank you!!!
Robert P. Knox Jr.

Hi Bob , All the city barrels are emptied 6 days a week in both the parks and roadside. The only day with no scheduled pick up is on Sunday. And yes Bob the Medford Housing was a long time ago....
Thanks
Bob
