Hassett Drive Medford, MA 02155 Re: Main Street Corridor – Order to Acquire Easements, Order of Taking and Order of Alteration of Layout Dear President Bears and City Councilors: As you are aware, the City is working in coordination with MassDOT to construct traffic and safety improvements to the Main Street corridor, beginning just south of Thomas St. and extending just north of the westbound Mystic Valley Parkway (Route 16) on- and off-ramps. The work area also extends on Mystic Ave (Route 38) from Main St. to just beyond Union St. The project will add traffic signals to three major intersections and include roadway mill and overlay, intersection geometry revisions, and improvements to sidewalks, bus lanes, bicycle lanes, crosswalks, signage, and pavement markings. The federal funding granted for this project requires that the right-of-way be in complete ownership and physical control of the City. A survey prepared for the project identified nine (9) private properties that contain public infrastructure. The City needs to acquire permanent and temporary easements as part of the project to facilitate the reconstructions of sidewalks, driveway entrances, and relocating overhead wires. The project also requires the City to alter the layouts of Main Street and Mystic Avenue to include within said layouts the public infrastructure on private properties. The layout alterations have been approved by the Mayor and by the Community Development Board. Enclosed are the following documents for your consideration: a City Council Order to acquire the easements; the Order of Taking, to take the easements by eminent domain; an Order of Alteration of Layout to alter the layout of Main Street and Mystic Avenue; the Alteration Plan; and the recommendation of the Community Development Board. The easements were appraised by a certified General Appraiser, and those appraisals were reviewed by a certified General Review Appraiser to establish just compensation for the easements. Written offers were sent to all nine (9) property owners via certified mail on May 6, 2026. Assistant City Engineer Sierra Schatz has been in contact with each owner to answer Page 16 of 35  MEDFORD, MASSACHUSETTS MAYOR BREANNA LUNGO-KOEHN questions and address concerns throughout this process beginning with the initial contact letter sent in February 2026. I respectfully request that the City Council vote to adopt the Order approving the acquisition of the easements and to execute the Order of Taking, effectuating the acquisition, and the Order of Alteration of Layouts at your regular June 23, 2026 meeting. Assistant City Engineer Sierra Schatz will be in attendance to answer questions on this matter. Thank you for your kind attention to this matter. Sincerely, Breanna Lungo-Koehn Mayor Enclosures Page 17 of 35 ORDERED: That the City Council of the City of Medford, on behalf of the City and pursuant to the authority granted by Chapter 82, Sections 21-24 and Chapter 79 of the Massachusetts General Laws, as amended, and any and every other power and authority which is hereunto in any way enabling, acquire by purchase, gift, and/or eminent domain, fee ownership of and/or permanent and temporary easements (which temporary easements shall be for five years) for any and all purposes for which public ways are used in the City of Medford and for the purpose of undertaking the Main Street (Route 38) Corridor and Intersection Improvements Project including, without limitation, constructing, inspecting, operating, maintaining, repairing, removing, replacing, relocating, and abandoning in place rights of way, sidewalks, walkways, utilities and any and all other structures, appurtenances and/or facilities related or incidental thereto, in, on, over, under, across and along the parcels of land shown on the plan entitled “Alteration Plan of Main Street (Route 38) Prepared for the City of Medford Middlesex County”, dated April 29, 2026, prepared by Greenman-Pedersen, Inc, a copy of which is on file with the City Clerk, and accept easements therefor and adopt and execute an Order of Taking provided this date by counsel to acquire said easements, and, in connection with said taking, to award damages for the taking to each property owner in the amounts set forth in Schedule B, attached to but not to be recorded with said Order of Taking; and execute, and to authorize the Council President to execute, on behalf of the City Council, any and all other agreements and/or documents and take any and all other action as may be necessary or appropriate to accomplish the foregoing.
