Description

The section of Boyden St. from Cathy Ln. north through to Bucks Hill is in terrible shape. Pavement is buckling in many places, litter is endemic, especially in the area with overgrowth, illegal dumping is a daily activity around power lines, ATVs and dirt bikes scream though on a daily basis -- as well as vehicles with unbelievably loud speakers. Additionally speeding is a serious issue, and due to the lack of sidewalks, several near-misses between pedestrians walking in the street and speeding vehicles happen often.

The city has abandoned this stretch of Boyden; it has abandoned the citizens who live near it; quality of life issues, especially litter and noise, are ignored by the city as well as the police. Please! This could be a very nice area with a little attention. But as it is now, it feels like a ghetto.
