What s going on with the Medford City Council? Here s a two other matters discussed during the April 13 session:
1) The City Council approved a motion by Councilor Nicole Morell to rename the Ball Square Green Line extension mass transit station the Ball Square/South Medford Station because most of it is in South Medford and to pass these sentiments onto to MBTA General Manager Steve Potfak.
In early January, the council approved a similar proposal by Vice President Adam Knight.
Morell said she brought the subject up again due to a lack of responsiveness from the MBTA.

City officials are continuing to advocate for traffic calming measures in East Medford.
“The issue I’m still hearing is speeding and cut-through traffic,” Councilor Michael Marks said at the Jan. 12 City Council meeting. “I’m hearing from residents it’s of the utmost concern.”
He mentioned the Fellsway, Fulton Spring Road, Fulton Road, Fern Road, Leon Circle, Fellsview Avenue, Vista Avenue, Murray Hill Road, and Grover Road and the intersections where they meet as streets of concern.
