BOS:311

Improperly stored trash in back of property

I am reporting a recurring public safety issue involving vehicles illegally parking in a designated bus stop and across/too close to a fire hydrant in Hyde Park. I have reported this location to 311 several times, but the problem continues to occur almost every night. Vehicles routinely block the bus stop, making it difficult or impossible for buses to safely pull up to the curb and pick up passengers. As a result, people waiting for the bus are often forced to stand behind the illegally parked vehicles and may have to move closer to or into the street to board the bus, creating a serious safety hazard. The same location appears to be a consistent problem spot, and repeated 311 reports have not resulted in a lasting solution. I am asking that this location receive increased parking enforcement, particularly during the hours when the violations occur. Residents of Hyde Park deserve the same level of parking enforcement and pedestrian safety as residents in other Boston neighborhoods. I respectfully ask that the City investigate this recurring problem and take appropriate enforcement action before someone is seriously injured. Please review the previous 311 reports associated with this location and consider arranging recurring enforcement at this bus stop. Thank you.
