Lynn City Council and committee meetings, November 10, 2026: The Utility Committee approved National Grid’s request to install a joint-use pole on Essex Street. It also approved, with stipulations, replacement of the gas regulator station at Summer Street and Austin Square. National Grid agreed to address full-width concrete sidewalk replacement, DPW-approved roadway and crosswalk restoration, protection of a memorial tree, improvements to the veterans memorial island, and pre- and post-construction walkthroughs; a traffic management plan will be subject to DPW approval.
