Cones being used to illegally save spots on a public street. The people using the cones come out and scream at and threaten you if you try to move them. It’s unfair to the residents who live in the area, and scary to be verbally threatened by grown men.

I am writing to report a dangerous sidewalk condition near 254 Corey Street in West Roxbury that needs repair. The sidewalk in this area has become a significant tripping and fall hazard. There is a large dirt square where a tree appears to have been removed, leaving an uneven opening directly in the sidewalk path. In addition, the surrounding sidewalk is cracked and uneven, and the sidewalk edge near the driveway does not properly line up with the adjoining concrete. The entire area has become hazardous for pedestrians. This condition has existed for years and has continued to worsen over time. I personally have twisted my ankle at least twice in this area and have almost fallen multiple other times because of the uneven surface and height differences. This is especially dangerous for elderly individuals, children, and anyone walking at night or during poor weather conditions. I am requesting that the City inspect this area and repair the sidewalk as soon as possible before someone suffers a serious injury. Thank you for your attention to this matter. Please let me know if you need any additional information.

This vehicle has been parked like this for a couple of days corner of Main & Henley in Charlestown. Shocked still no ticket. Please tix.

Handicapped parking zone signs outside 1982 Commonwealth Ave point in opposite directions, improperly indicating restricted parking area and leaving residents vulnerable to unclear ticketing.

really unsafe and confusing pedestrian options. Since the construction of an apartment building began, we have lost main sidewalks. The intersections between West Roxbury Parkway, Belgrade, and Beech street, are already a cluster, and there are limited places for pedestrians to cross, especially with less sidewalks. New work has begun ontop of the building construction that makes it a joke. Might I add that this is right down the street from a commuter rail stop, where many middle school and high school aged children are walking to and from. One sidewalk said closed and told me to cross to another sidewalk which is closed halfway down and makes you cross back. People fly through this temporary crosswalk. Another ‘cross here sign’ I’ve attached is just pointing to a dentists office. Walking around the cones means walking into traffic, where again, the street is already narrow because of the building construction, and people fly through because everyone flies through these streets. The other ‘side walk closed, cross here’ sign is pointing pedestrians into the middle of where Beech and Belgrade street merge, and where because of the construction vehicles parked there, the corners are blind.
