Lynn Disability Commission funds three programs totaling $87,635

Other Committee · Meeting of February 3, 2026

Lynn Disability Commission commits $87,635 across three programs, including a $75,000 ADA compliance study. Lisa Tobin of the Lynn Department of Public Health won $9,660 to continue a pilot job-training meal service at the senior center, run with Triangle Disability Services, calling it "a really nice partnership." City staffer Nick, filling in for planner Lauren, secured $75,000 for a citywide ADA self-assessment and transition plan covering buildings, parks and policies, saying it "can affect things like eligibility for future grants." Luis Dominique of the Lynn Disability Network won $2,975 for a Saturday inclusive sensory recreation program for 10 to 12 children weekly at Lynn Public School gyms; member Louise abstained on that vote. Members also raised concerns that snow-covered curb cuts and sidewalks were blocking wheelchair access downtown weeks after recent storms.
