Council on Aging · Meeting of March 11, 2026
WAKEFIELD — Council on Aging unanimously votes to address snow-removal barriers for local seniors. The board approved a motion by Chair Carol Plotkin to draft a letter to the Department of Public Works requesting a discussion about snow removal procedures for people with mobility issues, citing concerns that sidewalks throughout town remained uncleared for days after recent storms, blocking crosswalks and bus stops. The council also unanimously approved the February financial and participation reports, with February participation numbers lower than previous months due to instructor cancellations and winter storms.
