Residents are requesting an inspection and full curb-to-curb resurfacing of Wallace Court in Charlestown. The damage is due to public utility work. And has torn up Wallace Court numerous times without fixing. You can see the utility marks in spray paint. This should not fall to the residents, accountability is what we deserve. Over the past several years, multiple utility companies have repeatedly excavated Wallace Court. The roadway has been cut open and patched numerous times, but the utilities have never adequately restored the street after completing their work. The street is now covered with utility cuts, deteriorating patches, cracks, depressions, uneven pavement and seams throughout the roadway. This is not an isolated pothole or single area requiring a patch. The cumulative utility work has left the entire street in very poor condition. Residents were previously told that the utilities responsible for this work would return and properly restore the roadway, but that has not occurred. We are requesting that Boston Public Works inspect Wallace Court in its entirety, review the history of utility excavation on the street, identify the utilities/contractors responsible, and require appropriate permanent restoration. We are specifically requesting that the City evaluate Wallace Court for full milling and curb-to-curb resurfacing rather than additional spot patches. Please do not close this request based on filling individual cracks or potholes. The request is for an assessment of the entire roadway and full resurfacing of Wallace Court following repeated utility excavation.

JFK station near blue bikes is FLOODED. And it still has water pooled up today. I can’t even walk to and from BC High without my shoes getting wet. Got to walk in the middle of the road to avoid it.
