He is the former Councillor for Ward 1, where the site is located. “Can’t we have something nice down there?” he asked. Other business In other business, the Council granted National Grid permission to install power lines to the Woodland Street playground, but tabled a National Grid request to run power lines to 313 Elm St., pending further information being provided for residents. Ward 4 Councillor Holly Garcia motioned for passage of power lines for the playground, with the caveat National Grid provide information about their working hours and staging areas and a promise to repave the street from the center line to the sidewalk. “I know residents there are happy work is fi nally being done there,” she said. As is her custom, Rogers voted against the proposal for the playground, citing National Grid’s “refusal to answer for violating Massachusetts General Laws Chapter 91” to provide access to the waterfront. The Councillors also accepted a $475,000 grant from the state Gaming Commission for construction of improvements in Everett Square. In discussion Garcia pointed out the vote was for the grant only, not on plans for improvements. “The plans are not before us,” Council president and Councillor-at-Large Stephanie Smith confi rmed. “I believe that item will come before us in the future.” “Everett Square needs all the help it can get,” Matewsky said in urging acceptance of the grant. Another proposal, to borrow $4 million to modernize the school system’s network infrastructure, was sent to the Subcommittee on Ways and Means for study.
