Mayor Gary Christenson joined DPW Director Bob Knox, Foreman John Hoskyns and Craftsman Steve Ruddock to celebrate Earth Day with Beebe School students. The students were educated on the importance of keeping the storm drains clear so that dirt and debris does not pollute the river. A demonstration of the DPW Vactor Truck which vacuums and flushes out clogged storm drains interested the students and teachers alike!

Oak Grove Station joined 12 Pedal and Park community facilities to open across the Greater Boston area. The federally funded American Recovery & Reinvestment Act and the Community Multiscale Air Quality Acts provided Massachusetts $6.1 million to construct 12 “Pedal & Parks” and 50 covered bike racks at MBTA transit and bus stations in the Boston area. This program follows the success of the three Pedal & Parks opened in Alewife and Forest Hills in 2008. The general public sentiment is that customers are more likely to bike to transit if they are provided with a secure place to leave their bikes. For more information, log onto www.mbta.com. |
