    162 Pleasant St Watertown, MA 02472 - Watertown

    Pleasant Street from Watertown Square straight out to where it changes over to River Street is an absolute disgrace. driving down the street turns into an obstacle course, some places are impossible to avoid.

    67 Spring St Watertown, MA 02472, USA - Watertown

    The town of Watertown instituted no parking on Spring Street where there are businesses that will no longer be able to accomodate workers or customers. This may force them to move out of Watertown, taking tax revenue with them.

  • Pothole
    Most Of Common Street Watertown, MA 02472 - Watertown

    Common Street is a mess! We need to get this street fixed. Between cars parked on the street and people needing to swerve around potholes every 5 feet it's just an accident waiting to happen

  • Pothole
    Waverly Street Watertown, MA 02472, USA - Watertown

    Street is in awful condition. Many pot holes exist. Where pot holes have been fixed, they have reopened and are worse than before. In order to drive down the street you are zig-zagging across lanes to avoid pot holes, and manhole covers that are exposed.

    81-91 Partridge St Watertown, MA 02472, USA - Watertown

    The town spent a hefty sum last year to build a new pedestrian gate here (Partridge St / Ridgelawn entrance). This year the gate is almost always locked.

    Please give back pedestrian access to the cemetery grounds!

  • Bridge
    51 Rosedale Rd Watertown, MA 02472, USA - Watertown

    People crossing Acton St. often don't realize the cross street has no stop sign. I've seen near-misses way too often, as it seems like there should be a 4-way stop until you get right on top of the intersection.

    Rosedale is a heavily trafficed street - people use it to cross from Main St. to get over the bridge.

    89-127 Maplewood St Watertown, MA 02472, USA - Watertown

    the speed bumps which are fine except they are the same color as the road and seen too many cars almost go airborne.. anyone with half a brain knows these should of been painted reflective white or yellow so its visible.

  • Traffic
    465-467 Arsenal St Watertown, MA 02472, USA - Watertown

    Arsenal Street in the Arsenal/Watertown Mall area has a whole bunch of closely-spaced mistimed traffic lights.

    The lights give long reds to Arsenal Street traffic, even when there's no cross traffic or opposing left turners. And they're not synchronized, so lights often turn red just as a pack of cars gets there from the previous light.

    It takes much longer than it should to drive through this area, even late in the evening.

    This is especially a problem for the thousands of passengers on the 70/70A bus, who don't have the option of taking an alternate road.

    Please retime these lights!

  • Crosswalk
    Howard St. And Pleasant St. Watertown, MA - Watertown

    The construction at Pleasant St. is ongoing, but it is not obvious to eastbound drivers on Pleasant St. that there is a crosswalk coming from Howard St. for access to the river path. There is a sign warning westbound traffic about 200 feet east of the crosswalk. But do not seem to be aware of the new crosswalk location, and will rarely if ever allow someone to cross even though pedestrians are in clear view of westbound traffic.

    I should note there used to be a crosswalk about 200 feet west of the present location, and there is an inoperative flasher still at that location. A flasher for the new location would make alot of sense, but at the very least there should be a warning sign on the west side, just as there is on the east side.

  • Crosswalk
    Watertown & Theurer Park - Watertown

    Another car accident tonight, possibly involving pedestrians, at the intersection of Watertown/Rt 16 & Theurer Park. Cars existing Stop & Shop & cars trying to get onto Route 16 compete to get onto the road. 4 way stop sign needed or a lit pedestrian cross walk!
