    Nobody seems to acknowledge that there are traffic lights here. Every time I walk through, I'm at risk of getting run over by the 5-6 cars who pass through after the light turns red. I see this happen directly in front of police vehicles and have never seen a response. What would it take to get some officers to start writing tickets?

    145 Concord Avenue Cambridge, Massachusetts - Neighborhood 9
    A previously patched section in front of the church keeps sinking deeper and deeper. It is currently to the point where cars turn to avoid it and the cars which don't end up bottoming out, scraping their bumpers, or even worse: spilling their lattes.

    Still no lines painted. The department which is supposed to be responsible for this has now simply started ignoring all reminders after giving a half dozen false dates for when the lines would be painted.

    I will start leaving notes on the cars I see getting side swiped to inform them that the city has acknowledged the issue but has explicitly chosen not to resolve it, and therefore may be liable for damages.

    The community is currently taking bets on when, if ever, the lines will get painted. The over/under is currently set at Jan 1, 2025 and we can't find anyone willing to take the under. Maybe someone from the city will be the first?

    The decorative landscaping in the median completely obstructs the view of oncoming traffic for westbound drivers turning left.

    Huge pothole on the ramp right before it joins the rotary. Looks to be about 18x24" and maybe a full foot deep. It's possible it even reaches China. Maybe this is the first stop on Elon's new trans-con Hyperloop Extension. I dunno, I'm not an expert.

    But seriously, this looks like the kind of crater which would rip a car's wheel off.

    Note that this is on the roadway and NOT the bike path like the website insists.

    Paint the lines on the road. They've been missing for over a year. They've been reported a number of times. You've already lied to us about fixing them "within the next month" in issue 2897945 last year. What's the excuse going to be this time? Worldwide paint shortage?

    Deep pot hole on left side of street by garages. Another one looks ready to appear by the crosswalk.

    When will lines be painted on this 3-lane road? Is the answer simply "never?"
  • 79 John F. Kennedy St Cambridge, MA 02138, USA - West Cambridge
    Lane markings are completely absent and have been for most of a year. It is getting tiresome dodging cars driving the wrong direction in the inbound lanes, and this frustration is further compounded by the fact that, given the literal complete absence of lane markings, I can't really even say they're driving the wrong direction.

    Looks like a small tree was broken off at the base by some snow removal equipment. The tree is now laying by the side of the road.

    The latch to the dog park gate has been removed. This allows dogs to freely leave the fenced park as they please. I imagine this defeats the point of having a fenced dog park.

    Timers on walk signs are set incorrectly.

    There are 5-6 potholes on Huron between Garden and Concord. This location is for just one of them. Any chance the crew can just repair every pothole on this stretch instead of requiring each one to be individually reported?
  • 62 Upland Road Cambridge, Massachusetts - Neighborhood 9
    Sidewalk is completely iced over.
  • 199 Concord Avenue Cambridge, Massachusetts - Neighborhood 9

    Removed in May, reported in June, previous issue was marked as Closed THREE TIMES, still no trash cans.

    What's the issue here?

  • 110 Garden Street Cambridge, Massachusetts - Neighborhood 9
    Any updates to this? Nobody from Verizon has come to look at the pole. I cannot comment on the original issue as it has been marked closed despite no apparent attempts to resolve this.

    Vegetation on both sides of sidewalk is overgrown to the point of making the sidewalk impassable.

    Telephone pole is leaned over to the point where trucks and SUVs can have both roofs and mirrors clip the telephone pole while parking.
  • 115 Appleton Street Cambridge, Massachusetts - West Cambridge

    The updated sidewalks have made the roadway too narrow for two cars or one car and a bicycle to safely pass. This is especially problematic in the marked location due to the blind crest combined with a turn.

    Please return the street to a safe and legal width for a two-way street, change the street to one-way, or prohibit parking on one side.
