393-403 Mount Auburn St Watertown Town, MA, 02472, USA - WatertownTwo MBTA Watertown 71 busses were going 25-30 mph in the Mount Auburn school zone this morning at around 8:40am. I tried to contact the MBTA but their webform “select a complaint” drop down is not functioning. I didn’t have time while in traffic to report this.
This is a school zone, no? EVERYBODY DISREGARDS THE 20 mph flashing lights. -
Potholes Archived226 Common Street Watertown, MA, 02472, USA - WatertownThe northbound lane of Common St. from the rotary at Orchard St. to Bellevue Rd. and maybe beyond has over-built ~ 4’ x 4’ asphalt humps every 10 feet that patched the work holes. They are too thick not to damage your car. To straddle them puts you in the bike lane.

85 Trapelo Road Belmont, MA, 02478, USA - BelmontHere was Aram’s Cafe. A simple, timeless place and timeless style until a freak heating oil delivery to a disused connection made retirement the more tenable option.

448 Common Street Belmont, MA, 02478, USA - BelmontOn this site was the Historic Ohlin’s Bakery. The line often stretched out the door. The best doughnaughts in New England were made here until a freak oven explosion blew the wall of the back building off making retirement the more tenable option.

Ogden Rd & W Roxbury Pkwy Town of Brookline, MA, 02467, USA - BrooklineHow did it come to this? How are we in such a state of decline that we're replacing our high quality concrete sidewalks with cheap, shabby asphalt?

183 Grove Street Brookline, MA, 02467, USA - BrooklineThe Shops at Putterham always have a full parking lot so they must do enormous business and pay a ton of taxes, so the city should be able to fully integrate this mall into the community by completing the sidewalk where the loading zone got bricked over.

268-274 Grove St Town of Belmont, MA, 02478, USA - BelmontSome kid (probably) wanting for instruction in right and wrong has been periodically littering glossy football trading/bubblegum cards in a radius of who knows how many blocks over the span of months. A pack wrapper here, a handful of discarded cards there, but mostly single cards being cast without a care as they walk to and from one of the schools in the area I imagine, but who knows.

General Parking ArchivedMt Auburn St & Taylor St Watertown, MA, 02472, USA - WatertownFire hydrant no parking space has effectively become the loading/order pickup and waiting zone for the kabab place and maybe other firms. I think Taylor St. now has zero parking spaces but a super nice two lane bike lane. (Have yet to see bikes though

General Traffic ArchivedGalen St & Nonantum Rd Watertown, MA, 02472, USA - WatertownGRIDLOCK!!! FREQUENCY INCREASING! Always one northeast bound jerk on Galen turning left onto 16 during no left turn hours in p.m. blocking everyone in the left lane.

264 Trapelo Road Belmont, MA, 02478, USA - BelmontIf something falls out of your car pick it up. CVS, have an employee police the litter in your lot or get the property owner to service it way more often. So disheartening! Are Belmontonians the culprit here, or is this a knock on effect from the app delivery (person) economy?

106 Trapelo Road Belmont, MA, 02478, USA - BelmontThis parking lot is in unacceptable condition. UNACCEPTABLE!

General Traffic ArchivedMt Auburn St & Taylor St Watertown, MA, 02472, USA - WatertownThe two northeast lanes of Mt. Auburn effectively turn into one lane at Taylor because of in-lane parking spaces and the old no parking fire plug area created a way for the right lane to negotiate partially merging left around the parked cars, NOW there are cars pulled over at the fire plug and behind it causing a full obstruction of right lane traffic.

Goden St & School St Town of Belmont, MA, 02478, USA - Belmont
Look, we all need to be somewhere. Just because I’m waiting doesn’t mean I’ indecisive, unsure, or lack aggression - I am following the rules of the road and waiting for the privileged vehicle , the vehicle with the right of way to go.
This in a major school route with children crossing and recklessly darting about on their bikes this is no place for a break down in civil order!

With regards to the huge new lab complex and new northbound bus lane on Galen St.:
1. Are MBTA busses even going to be able to turn right into the terminal stop while staying in the bus lane given the new smaller curb / sidewalk / road architecture? Won’t the busses turning right need to make a farmer’s turn and use some of the lane to their left to clear the curb and it’s bumper to bumper when I’m headed home from work. Is that why the new, yet to be used bus lane is blocked by traffic cones?
Also, people are starting to block the box again at both sides of the bridge-not frequently yet, but before the pandemic there was a policeman directing traffic south of the bridge.
