Speeding through the neighborhood..

This concerns increased traffic and speeding during the week when the high school is in session.Numerous cars/trucks use this neighborhood as a means to get to the high school to avoid :Mendon Road. Students are sitting through neighborhood yards off Scarborough Rd as well as parking on the street for the duration of classes. I watched a female student this morning park her Lexus on Knollcrest then walk through someone's yard to go to school. RI license plate DR. There have been many "near misses" with cars speeding up and the down streets of this neighborhood. It starts around 6:45 am and lasts until approx 7:15am. The posted signs do no good. It is impossible to walk safely during that period with people stopping on the curve of Scarborough Rd for drop-offs. Please help us - it is only getting worse Thank you

Can anything be done about parking on the sidewalks. How can we walk our dog without the risk of damaging a motorcycle. Sidewalks are for waling on not parking on.

Last winter the town plows knocked over 2 sections of the fence and they remain open. Several neighbors have reported this issue, but they haven't been fixed yet.

2 large pit-bulls are owned by the couple living in this house. They repeatedly get out of the yard and chase people walking dogs. They have already attacked another neighborhood dog. Please address this several phone calls to police and animal control have yielded ZERO results!

The road opposite of 55 Westwood dr was torn up by the plow, creating a rather large pothole.

The street light in front of our house has been out for over 6 months, I have called national grid several times, beginning in July, to report the issue with no success. It is a dead end street and most certainly a safety issue.

There is heavy trash and debris at the end of 1st Ave, off to the right

Snow plow hit my mailbox pole and it needs to be replaced because it's too wobbly

Reporting front lawn yard damage as a result of a town plow. Yard stakes were in place, yet were ignored and lawn damage occurred. Seeking loam repair in the spring. Yard stakes were added again(see picture).

Sitting at Red light on southbound Mendon Rd at Manville Hill Rd and 2 cars behind me pulled into the Tanning parking lot then immediately exited on Manville Hill Rd. (One car never even slowed down.) Very dangerous if the left turn green is on at the northbound side of the lights.

Hi, we always appreciate how hard the town works to clear the roads of snow and ice.

But, is it possible to use less sand?

We haven't had a big snowstorm yet and our streets looks like a beach. The problem is particularly bad on small side roads, where the sand truck drops sand going both ways on the street.

This sand stays in place and makes a general mess all winter, spring, and into the summer. I know the town comes by to sweep up the sand, but it's usually not enough and homeowners end up sweeping the streets.

Please consider this, especially for the small side-roads where there is very little traffic.
