BOS:311

First block of Redlands Road from Centre Street, West Roxbury (near 55 Redlands Rd). Request speed humps/traffic calming due to frequent speeding. Much of the traffic is non-local: people park here from Centre Street businesses or the commuter rail, then speed away without regard for the neighborhood. Many children live on this short block (my 10-year-old plus several households with 1–4 kids each), along with multiple dogs. A dead animal was recently removed from in front of my house. Several homes, including mine, have no driveway, so residents must enter/exit cars on the street with vehicles passing at high speeds. Please evaluate this block for speed humps or other traffic-calming measures to improve safety for children, pets, and residents.

This light and the one closest to it on opposite side of the street have been out for over a year. It is so dark when trying to turn onto the street that you can’t see at night if somebody is in the crosswalk. Please fix both! It’s very dangerous. Intersection of Monument Sq & Chestnut St.

Red SUV parked on no parking street, blocking sidewalk.
