Temporary warning signs may be installed around Lake Quannapowitt if cyanobacteria, commonly called blue-green algae, creates an immediate public health concern. The town plans to review the lake’s permanent signs and consider stronger wording, while also using social media and email reminders about lake safety. No final decision was made on the proposed Parker Road streetlight; the request will be reviewed by the Wakefield Municipal Gas & Light Department and Traffic Advisory Commission before returning to the Town Council.
