Dead tree branch broke off & is now resting on wires.

This is the third larger lost branch from this tree in the last 2 years, this time it took down some cable wires. Some parts of the tree do not appear to have new growth this Spring.

An unidentified wire snapped off the street utility pole during a recent storm.

Left turn only signage (turning onto Mystic from Harvard) is being ignored. Most people in the left lane go straight which pushes the cars going straight out of the way. The drivers NOT following signage often get angry and honk and threaten.

The rush-hour traffic on Willis Avenue is getting increasingly bad. It’s difficult to maneuver when both sides of the street have parking. Also it seems like a lot of drivers are being funneled that way through map apps.

Hancock Street is increasingly busy with cut through traffic and cars often drive far above the 25 mile per hour city limit. Speed limit signs are needed as well as crosswalks midway through the street to allow safe crossing areas for pedestrians to Crescent/Willis and Hancock Ave./Kenway (there are only crosswalks at Main & Mystic).

Cars consistently speed in the residential areas connected by Willis Ave., Main St., and Mystic Ave. They routinely ignore stop signs & the rules of a four way stop. It is particularly bad during rush hour AM & PM. And to compound the issue there are numerous people who are parking at intersections & stop signs. This is dangerous for pedestrians who can can not see oncoming traffic when crossing.

Snowbanks are blocking several intersection corners on Hancock Street. There is no shoveled path connecting the sidewalk to the street. Children and people walking to their bus stops need to walk out into the street -- which is busy and frequently has people driving over the speed limit.

Graffiti on pole at intersection.

The light at Eliot St. & Hancock St. has been out for at least 3-4 days.

There was a rat running across the street at the Columbus School drop-off area. It ran from the shrubs on school grounds, across East Albion to a nearby yard.

There are cars parked at stop signs or too close to intersections on Willis Ave. on a daily basis. This impedes traffic a great deal and makes it more dangerous for kids walking to-from school or bus stops when they can't cross the street safely.

There are several city trees on Hancock Ave. & Hancock St. that need to be trimmed back. In some case they block the sidewalk so anyone over 4 feet is not able to pass.

There is a double utility pole at a high foot & car traffic area at Columbus Elementary School. One of the poles is several feet off the ground.

The walk signal button by Alexander's Store was removed this past Summer and never replaced. There is a crosswalk & walk light but no button to press at the Main & Frederick side of the crosswalk.
