Yes it does - if you consider two strong men available to lift a wheel chair up about 15 steps! And yes - we need a new police station with handicapped access.
The Police Station and The Cemetary are a mess. Melrose cares only about playgrounds and paying Health Insurance for the BOA.
My husband and I are VOTING NO on The OVERRIDE!
"Melrose has been in violation of ADA for at least two decades." along with many other broken laws, starting with those pertaining to the School Committee and administration!
The police station is over 100 years old and was originally a telephone building for operators to direct your calls. The report on the pd that the city pad 25k for a few years back said one of the top things that need to be fixed is a new station
Sounds like another city bond to be proposed! However, it is interesting to note that some of the oldest city buidings involve critical services such as fire and police - go figure!
These are all good points. Lots of places where we could use some sidewalks too. If only there were some way we could get a little bit more revenue for the city, so that it could go beyond just scraping by, funding the bare minimum mandated expenses. I wonder if there's a way we could organize a vote to increase funding?

Time to give the sidewalks a rest. I feel like everywhere I go in this city there are new streets and sidewalks being worked on. One thing I don't see is a new Police (or public safety) building. The city should be ashamed at the condition of all of our public safety buildings.
