    Haynes Framingham, MA - Framingham
    This driver almost killed me and my child as he/she was speeding down Haynes not stopping at all and driving into oncoming traffic into Central. There was a car stopped at Fenwick an oncoming car coming from Central and myself driving part Simpson Park on Central. I had to slam my breaks to avoid a collision as I was going the speed limit of 35. This driver is dangerous and will no doubt kill someone with the way they drive, so careless for life or safety. They continued at a high rate of speed down Central and sped through the Stop sign at Edgell as well then tailgated the driver into the next street.
    The residents recently wanted an extra sign put up on Fenwick and I have to say missing death this morning it's only because they want to do what this driver did. Put up a stop sign on Haynes so this guy can't kill anyone. I thank God I wasn't two second earlier at the point or I would be dead along with my child.
  • 51-59 Woodland Dr Framingham MA 01701, USA - Framingham
    (Daily occurrences)Disturbing the peace, speeding, texting and driving, drug use while in drivers seat of car, potential drug dealer, muffler is not up to state regulations. There is a light-ish blue mid 2000's Honda Civic that drives through my neighborhood every day, sometimes close to 10 times a day that parks at the truck stop parking lot off of I-90 in the neighborhood of Woodland Dr. His muffler is very loud and often wakes me and my children up at night and in the morning. He is constantly texting and driving, constantly speeding and I am afraid that he will hit a pedestrian. He comes by at very random times, but I have heard him drive by at all hours. There is no pattern to the time frames and he does not work at the truck stop. He usually drives there and leaves almost immediately after. The other day I went to the truck stop to grab dinner and I saw him parked there and he appeared to be doing drugs, and then a car pulled up beside him and got into the passengers seat of the car. We think that he is selling drugs due to the frequency and briefness of his visits. We would like to remain anonymous for the safety of our family but we would truly appreciate an officer scoping this situation out and making sure there are no drugs being sold in our neighborhood.
    Thank you.

  • 111 Speen St. Framingham, Massachusetts - Framingham
    Hi there-
    Generally, I let these things slide, but my issue is becoming more frustrating and my experience on Friday, June 3, 2016, drove me to write.
    I work at 111 Speen St. In Framingham. There is a side exit from the parking lot that empties out onto Speen St. across from the TJX parking lot exit to Speen Street. I understand that TJX pays for Police detail to help their employees get out onto Speen St. at the end of the day. However, most days the officer on detail there doesn’t pay any attention to anyone trying to get out of the 111 Speen lot across the way, so often we have to quickly get out when there is a gap, or when the officer is switching the traffic. That right there is sometimes dangerous, but there are few officers that sometimes acknowledge us and help us get out.
    This past Friday, I noticed the officer who was on (I did not get his name) was stopping everyone coming out of the 111 lot ahead of me, but I did not know why. When there was a clear gap (It was later so not as busy as 5-530 pm) I pulled out and he stopped me immediately and asked me if I knew that I could be fined 100 dollars for taking a left over the wide lane divider that has the diagonal lines crossing it, that it is illegal for me to take a left turn out of my parking lot. Admittedly, he was rude and full of attitude about it so my response wasn’t very friendly in return. I told him that he is the first officer to ever point that out to me the 10 years I’ve worked here, and he asked me if I “remembered what was in my driving manual”, to which I said was a long time ago. He went on to say that didn’t I see him stop the lady who hit him with her car, and that I should go out the main exit and around the block, which means onto 30 and around to get back to Speen and Old CT. Path. I said, I live on this side of Framingham, why would I do that, it’s a hassle and a lot more traffic. He again mentioned he got hit by a lady and I said “I’m sorry you got hit”. His response was a sarcastic “I’m sure your sorry” as he waved me off. His attitude was disrespectful, so he got no respect from me in return.
    I get that people have a bad day, but he was systematically stopping and pulling over people and disrupting the flow of traffic to what amounts to harassment for something we have been doing every day without issue (other than taking our lives into our hands). I don’t even care about his attitude or behavior, to me the bigger issue is, why can’t we take a left turn there? Is every officer going to now uphold that rule? We certainly cannot take a left out of the main entrance to the lot because of its angle out onto Speen, and its proximity to the light at route 30. Though I know my bldg will not pay for detail, is it really that hard for the officer on duty to acknowledge us? I’m waiting for the day someone coming out of my lot gets in an accident and your officer is on traffic detail 20 ft away.
    I’m sure most the officers won’t have a problem with us taking a left out of the lot like this guy today did, so I would bet we will continue to leave the lot to the left without issue, and hope that the officer from Friday is not on. But they all need to be on the same page.
    I’m just asking that someone looks into the matter and clarifies if this is indeed going to be a problem going forward.
    Thank you for listening.

  • 655 Concord St Framingham, Massachusetts - Framingham

    Waste management just came and collected trash from the dumpster at 655 concord street at 3:54 AM

    This is unacceptable to the residents on this street and violates the noise ordinance. Please fine this business and make them stop collecting trash at such an obscene hour. This is my second complaint on this address and no one has done anything. I have video this time of the truck turning out of the business. They do it so fast because they know they are going to get in trouble when the dumpster door swings and makes a huge boom to wake up the neighborhood!

  • 490 Old Connecticut Path Framingham, Massachusetts - Framingham

    Lifetime Fitness at 490 Old Commecticut Path has turned in their external speakers and are playig music at a loud volume. This was on at 2am Saturday May 19th. Even now, at 12:30pm I’m May 19th, despite the pool being closed, they are pusmoing music out of the exterior speakers.

    This business has repeatedly refused to answer complaints on the topic and continuously fails to resolve the issue.

    This is an ongoing impact to the neighborhoods adjacent to this gym, which is operating as if it was a nightclub.

    They need to shut the exterior speakers down and comply with noise ordinances. When is the city going to address this issue and resolve it for good?

  • Elm Street Framingham, MA - Framingham
    There is a bus driver who drives the M24 bus through neighborhood and to Cameron for 2:25 pickup. He literally drives 25mph and then comes to complete stops in the middle of the road. I noticed why today.......his head was down assuming he was on his cell phone and the reason for driving under the speed limit and stopping every couple of feet. I have no idea who to contact about this but it's an every day occurrence from Linda Ave through Simpson and onto Water St around 2:20. Someone is going to get hit or killed by this driver and he's very unsafe!!!
  • 64 Lockland Avenue Framingham, Massachusetts - Framingham
    As a parent to two small children with plenty of other young kids in our neighborhood, we invite and welcome increased scrutiny and monitoring of the speed of the vehicles on Lockland Avenue, particularly as they approach Route 9. I'm scared for our kids, elderly neighbors, and even us as we attempt to back out of our driveway and then travel at reasonable rates of speed.
