Inside Methuen exists to inform and empower residents through transparent, factual reporting that strengthens civic engagement and keeps our community aware, involved, and connected.
n the real world, Methuen already has a lawful playbook. It says abutters start — let me repeat that for anyone on the Council who missed the tiny word: the abutters START the petition.
Fast-forward three years: there’s now a resolution before the Council for the City to pave five unaccepted streets using whatever funds the Mayor has at his disposal. The resident persistence paid off: his unaccepted road made the cut.
