  • Pine Ridge Rd & South St Town of Reading, MA, 01867, USA - Reading
    The fence needs to be relocated away from the road. The temporary tan box is also in sight line. The overgrown trees block views of oncoming vehicles as well. Lastly the poorly placed new utility pole is another obstruction.

    This undeveloped property is abandoned by its owner and many of us in the neighborhood try to keep it cleaned up. Would the town be able to help by removing the piles of asphalt that were dumped there decades ago just off the road? Thank you for considering!

    Enormous tractor trailers. Continue to use John Street as a cut through. This road, and a left-hand turn onto 129 wasn’t designed for the sort of traffic

    I am writing to request "no idling" signs similar to those posted in the Birch Meadow neighborhood near route 129. Cars, delivery trucks, and other vehicles routinely stand for hours idling in the area adjacent to Hunt Park. This is unhealthy, especially near a public park with youth sport and homes, contributes continual noise to the neighborhood, and is unsafe. Please address this subject before the Eaton Street construction project gets underway. (That project is NOT adjacent to Hunt Park.)

    After the paving of Wakefield St was completed, the reparation to the surrounding grassy areas is deplorable. The growth of weeds instead of grass surrounding the road, particularly at the Charles/Wakefield intersection, is just disgusting. This work completed by the paving company is sub par and a poor reflection on how the town views its roads and appearance.

    Good afternoon, this pile of debris is still on my lawn from the repaving project on Milton Road. I was told it would be removed and the lawn would be repaired last fall but it’s still there so I wanted to follow up. Thank you.

    87 Washington street needs to be cleaned up. House is next to park. Also needs pest control before clean up
  • 20 Glen Road Reading, MA, 01867, USA - Reading

    Hello,

    I need to submit a formal health complaint for 20 Glen Road. There is trash all over the back yard. It is visible from the street since the family does not close their fence. I am shocked that the Town can see this and not allocated more resources. There is a significant a rat problem, and it is no doubt that this home is the source of our issue. It is unacceptable for children to live and play near this home. Rats bring disease. This is a health crisis that we need to call on the health department to partner with public works and potentially social services to provide resources.

    I would like to request a submission of a formal complaint as well as request a health inspection of the premises at 20 Glen Road.

    Please confirm that this can be submitted with the picture attached, or provide next steps for submission.

    Thank you,

    Concerned citizen

    Cars cannot see around the bend as people cross the street Is there a way to get a sign and/ or cross walk? There
    Is no sidewalk on the other side and therefore you are forced to cross the street from Bethune ave onto the other side It is also not very well lit so it makes it dangerous after dark

    87 Washington st. Is an accident waiting to happen. It’s been close to 15 years that no vacancy has been at this property. House has been falling apart built in the early 1900’s. I’m sure there are many rodents and raccoons living in there. The park is right next door and I see little kids going on the lawn. Like I said this is an accident waiting to happen and I don’t want to be the one to say “I told you so” Let’s get this taken care of. Tks, neighbor

    The fire hydrant in front of my house is desperately in need of a paint job.
    Thanks, Rita
