  • 2 Bridge St Dedham, MA - Dedham
    I live in Riverdale, and every morning I come down Needham St to turn on to Bridge St. The traffic jam here in the mornings is HORRIBLE, and although there is a "DO NOT BLOCK INTERSECTION" sign, no one adheres to it. It can take over 10 minutes to get from Needham Street on to Spring Street in the mornings. I worry with the new construction this is going to get worse.
  • 74 Holmes Rd Dedham, MA 02026, USA - Dedham
    This driveway has a unregistered car that has been there for many years. Also there is a boat in the driveway that has been there so many years it has vines growing off of it. Could we please try to clean up our street and make our houses look at least somewhat presentable. Also there are some kind of metal drums in the drive way.
  • Hillsdale - Dedham
    Traveling on Sprague Street towards the Village Manor, take a right on to Hillsdale. Continue on Hillsdale past Greensboro. Once past Greensboro and still on Hillsdale, travel approximately 100 yards and you will see a massive pot hole right in the middle of the street. Since it's a narrow street to begin with, this effects both lanes of traffic. I think this should be a top priority as I've driven over it at night when it's nearly impossible to see. The impact was severe while only traveling at a normal speed. If you need help in locating it, please contact me at 781-249-6397. Thanks.
  • 47 Winfield St Dedham, MA 02026, USA - Dedham
    The right side of the street is crumbled and being torn up. the whole street itself is a variety of patch jobs done by the city.
  • East Street Rotary Around The Storage Area. Dedham, MA - Dedham
    The road is so unsafe, both sides of street swirving around huge holes in road, and onto the other side of the road. The are deep and even in an SUV I can feel my trucks wheels and steering out of control. In my car it is a nightmare. People are going all over the road on both sidews as well as stopping to go slowlyover while traffic coming off ramp is coming behind them full speed. Very, very poor and unsafe conditions waiting for an accident if there hasn't been one already. I'm sure this woudln't cost too much town money and nomore than 2 hours worth of work to keep us all safe and not ruin our cars and alignments even more - nevermind save lives. Thank you.
  • 46 Fleming St Dedham, MA 02026, USA - Dedham
    huge pothole that has been reported before and ignored...almost 14 inches deep...
  • Highland St Dedham, MA 02026, USA - Dedham
    A MESS!!! Tons of holes and "patch jobs" that have failed. It is scary to drive on!
  • 12 Ohio St Dedham, MA 02026, USA - Dedham
    Ohio St is completely in need of repair. The end of the street is down to dirt and causing water to pool and destoy drivways. There are large pieces of the pavement broken off along the entire length of the street. It's not a big street, but we pay the same taxes as everyone else. Please fix it.
  • 67-75 Bingham Ave Dedham, MA 02026, USA - Dedham
    The end of Bingham ave is in terrible condition. With potholes and loose particles of road. I understand people do not want cars speeding down that part,but how about fix the road and put some speed bumps. Also clear some of the overgrown trees and put a sidewalk there so people can safely walk their children and pets. That road has been in that condition for years and considering the taxes we pay it should have been fixed a long time ago.
  • Holmes Rd Dedham, MA 02026, USA - Dedham
    The entire street has many potholes that have been filled many many times. It just might be time for them to tear up the street and repave it.
  • 68 Holmes Rd Dedham, MA 02026, USA - Dedham
    There are many potholes on this street. It would be nice if they could be filled in. Everytime a truck or car goes over them we get a loud noise. This has been reported about a month ago and nothing has been done about it and they are only going to get worse.
  • Rte 1 At Massachusetts 128 Dedham, MA 02026, USA - Dedham

    As one travels south on Route 1 in Dedham, at the interchange with Rte 128, there are three travel lanes. The right-hand lane becomes an exit-only lane for 128 south. There is no indication that it is exit-only, which creates a danger of last-moment merges or people running off the road.

    There should be pavement markings, signs that say "right lane exit only" and a marking on the exit sign itself (this lane exit only, e.g.).

    I have pointed this out to Mass Highway. Four weeks later, no improvements.
