Analysts then assessed health risks from contaminants found in the samples. And they used what the Mystic River Watershed Association described as a conservative approach that assumed that all boaters, young, old, competitive and recreational, would wade knee-deep in river muck during every launch, and every boat and small craft would Advocate 1.

Analysts also assumed that boaters would swallow water and sediment while out on the river. Those levels of exposures to the river met the state and federal standards for acceptable environmental risks. According to the study, the highest health risk from lifetime exposure to the river was one chance in 100,000. The results were great news for Malden’s many river advocates, including the City Council’s Waterfront Access Committee, which has been waiting for information on water quality before moving forward with plans and projects. The report was also welcome news for the many residents who took part in the Malden River Greenway Visionary meetings in 2017. Organized by the Mystic River Watershed Association and the cities of Malden and Everett and led by the Boston-based design fi rm Utile, the Malden River Greenway plan calls for a continuous network of riverfront walkways with parks, boat launches and pedestrian bridges. For Mystic River Watershed Association Director Patrick Herron the study, and all of the eff ort that went into organizing and funding it, refl ects the commitment of municipal and community partners that want to reclaim the Malden River as a public resource. “With this important information in hand, we must now turn to expanding access to the river through parks, paths and boat launches, priorities outlined in our community-driven Malden River Vision Plan,” he said. For Buck, who is often out with her husband cleaning and keeping watch on the river, the health assessment report marks the beginning of a new era for the waterway. “The sense of relief and joy is palpable,” she said. “Now the work begins.” Malden and the nation celebrate Community Development Week M ore than $1.3 million in Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funding fl ows into Malden each year, helping the city build parks, rehab aging homes, improve infrastructure and partner with local nonprofits on issues including health, homelessness, education, hunger and senior transportation. A product of the War on Poverty and a desire for local control, CDBG has for 45 years been the primary federal program for cities to address the causes and consequences of poverty. That’s on the mind of city leaders in Malden and across the country this month as they observe National Community Development Week starting April 22, which celebrates the successes of the CDBG program in moving communities forward. Mayor Gary Christenson has planned a visit to a CDBG-funded health clinic, and CDBG parks projects are popping up across the city as the construction season picks up. In Malden, the CDBG budget is set by the Mayor and City Council and administered by the Malden Redevelopment Authority (MRA). In the 2018-2019 program year, CDBG funds support: • Preventing and addressing homelessness through community partners like Housing Families, Youth Harbors and Just-AStart. • Improvements at Maplewood Park, Forestdale Park, Coytemore Lea Park and FitzGerald Park and construction of a new community garden on the Northern Strand Community Trail. • Rehabbing Malden’s aging housing stock, including removing lead hazards and addressing code issues. • Improving Malden’s walkability for all people by installing ADA-accessible sidewalks throughout Malden. • The Immigrant Learning Center’s English language classes, the YMCA and YWCA’s Youth Services programs, the Malden Neighborhood Basketball League, the Malden Teen Enrichment Center, and other educational programs. • Programs for seniors, such as Mystic Valley Elder Services’ Senior Meals Program and the Senior Center’s Senior Transportation Program. CDBG funds have also been leveraged to fund large-scale projects, such as the redevelopment of a toxic brownfi eld into the River’s Edge development, building the Malden Senior Center and constructing Lincoln Commons. National Community Development Week also celebrates the federal HOME Investment Partnerships Program (HOME), which provides funding to local communities to build aff ordable housing. MRA administers HOME funds on behalf of the North Suburban HOME Consortium, which consists of Malden, Medford, Everett, Arlington, Melrose, Revere, Chelsea and Winthrop.
