AUTHORIZING A STOP SIGN ON THE NORTHWEST CORNER OF HOLLYHOCK AVENUE

Given its first reading; assigned to the COMMITTEE ON INFRASTRUCTURE by President McCarthy
PERIOD FOR GENERAL PUBLIC COMMENT
Ms. Mary Elizabeth Carroll, 91 % Chandler Street
| was last here in January. I’m very sick right now; | almost went into cardiac arrest because my clothes
were loaded with a chemical that looks and feels like glass. After having Christmas with my mother | saw a
bed bug on my bedroom wall and | went to the Marblehead Board of Health and gave them some
information about the environment and they told me to go to a dermatologist. | saw the dermatologist on
February 29" and in between I’ve been into three houses and infected them. | went to Heidi’s building on
Monday after | saw the dermatologist; Heidi Peek is the environmental health lady and she doesn’t care. |
told her that | was on fire and was contagious. She said “you think you are highly contagious.” So | said
okay I'll go to your building until one of you gets sick. She said she didn’t want to see me every day as that
was negative attention so | went to her building on Tuesday and | stayed in the hallway. It was a little
contaminated. | went back on Wednesday and it was really contaminated. Thursday | saw my case
manager at Community Council and he said Heidi had called him and left a message with an intake worker
telling her that | am on fire. She should be calling poison control and not Community Council. My anger
issues with Heidi may be a psychiatric issue but the poison in my body is Heidi Peek’s issue. Yesterday |
saw glass pouring out of both of my hands. Heidi is useless and she doesn’t care. | am trying to find a
dermatologist to do a biopsy but there’s nothing on me and according to the doctors if it’s not on you then
it's not in you. Like | said to the Mayor last year the beaches are connected to the ocean and the ocean is
connected to the whole world. | am going on all of Facebook and all of Twitter tomorrow because | can’t
find a doctor. | guess | am going to infect every building until the whole building gets sick. I'll just keep
infecting Heidi’s building until someone gets sick. It’s not right that someone has to get sick to prove I’m
sick but if that’s the way Heidi Peek wants it.
Mr. Bernie Cote, 22 Granley Street
| don’t know if this is the proper place to bring this up but this is about a crosswalk on Main Street where
that Santander Bank is. Well, | was heading toward the Bank of America and | was trying to cross and the
cars wouldn’t stop. Number one, the crosswalk needs to be repainted and you need to put a sign there
marked “crosswalk/pedestrian’s walking.” Someday someone is going to get run over.
REMARKS BY THE MEMBERS OF THE BOARD OF ALDERMEN
Alderman Lopez
I'd like to thank the previous speaker for making that comment. | think any citizens who spot dangerous
areas in the city should give the feedback back to the city. | also wanted to remark on the debate we had
regarding the grant for the Public Health Department. | think Alderman Siegel raised a value point about
making sure that we do research before endorsing pieces of legislation. | took that to heart and | want to
apologize to the Board for not having the answers that | should have had as the liaison to the Board of
Health. I'll do my best to do better in the future. | also wanted to make an announcement that this
Saturday at 11:00 a.m. there is an awareness walk to raise awareness of the impact of the opioid crisis. |
