Sidewalk Repair

Opened: Nov 13, 2026, 6:00 PM7h ago
Description: Please inspect and repair the crumbling sidewalk in front of 3930–3932 Washington Street in Roslindale. This is a follow-up to previous 311 requests for the same location. Note there are 10+ years of 311 request showing the state of the crumbling sidewalk. The sidewalk has deteriorated into a rough, uneven surface with loose material and low spots where water pools, as shown in the attached photo. The gas valve cover and the water valve cover each protrude approximately 1 inch above the surrounding sidewalk. Both raised covers are trip hazards, have previously damaged vehicles entering and exiting the driveway and the broken surface and abrupt changes in height make this stretch inaccessible to people using strollers, wheelchairs or other mobility aids. Water collects in the damaged areas, and the crumbling surface makes it difficult to clear standing water, snow, and ice effectively. When temperatures drop, the pooled water can freeze across the walking path. Please coordinate with the appropriate utilities to bring both valve covers flush with the sidewalk and make a permanent repair that restores a firm, level, accessible walking surface and addresses the pooling water. Please provide an update on the inspection and expected repair timeline.
