One of the most pressing environmental issue is the clean-up of the Malden River in the Wellington area. This long ignored waterway is finally being investigated by the Army Corp. of Engineers for remediation and responsible parties are being pursued. This study will ultimately lead to the river's clean up, future use and connectivity to the Mystic River pathways.
Of like importance is protecting the Middlesex Fells from the over developing of the former New England Medical Center in Stoneham. The impact of this project, as it stands, is far reaching not only on the environment but the quality of a peaceful lifestyle in North Medford. The City of Medford must continue to pursue this (presently being appealed) and urge the Town of Stoneham to look outside its borders and do the right thing!
