Strongly agree. Have lived on this street for 7 years and have only seen one (poor) pothole patch job about 3 1/2 years ago. Best section of road is where utility workers patched about a 24 foot section they had to dig up last year.

Please note that this is just the section from Victor to Blomerth, at the hill, that needs the most attention.

I live around the corner and I agree that Maurice needs major work- as does Bloomerth. Both are like a roller coaster ride.

Thank you for your request and we understand your concerns. This system is for general repairs and repaving a whole street is a little more involved than the DPW can handle. I can tell you though Maurice Street is certainly on our radar to get paved the Mayor and Councilor are working on repairing streets in your area.

Thanks

Hi Bob. I realize you've been helpful in the past and that this is beyond your direct control. I think we all appreciate your responsiveness and concern.

I also agree that Blomerth needs to be addressed as well as it's in equally bad shape. However, Maurice is a much smaller stretch by comparison (plus I'm somewhat biased as I live here) so I'd hope that they could tackle this at first.

Who would we need to contact to escalate this issue?
Any suggestions to get it bumped up on the priority queue?
Do we have to get signatures or is it simply that this town is painfully slow or neglectful to move on issues such as this?

Thank you for contacting the City of Malden. Your service request has been assigned an identification number (#W009033-042915), and will be reviewed by city staff shortly.

Just spoke with the Mayor's Office and they told me they would speak with you...(although I've pointed out that we've already spoken twice and that you told me to contact them.)

We're just going around and around in circles which I suppose is to be expected of politics.

I've received some canned answer that "the town has plans" which essentially tells us absolutely nothing. "When" would be my question - 15 more years from now? They didn't provide anything more concrete.

Emailed and called the mayor, DPW, and four members of the city council today. According to the mayor's office, the issue has to do with priorities amongst the council members wanting to fix streets with water issues first. Waiting to hear back from them.

Leo,

Thank you for your request and I have received your email yesterday. The proper officials are aware of what is needed at this location and are working on a resolve.

Thanks
