So much trash all around the north end in snow piles.

Broken gate, blocking access to the sidewalk. Bacco Restaurant, North End Boston.

Location: Thoreau Path (between O'Connell Way and Storrow Drive) Service Request Type: Snow/Ice on Sidewalk or Roadway Description: Hazardous condition on Thoreau Path, a private way owned by Equity Residential (The Alcott, Longfellow, and Emerson towers), the Hawthorne/Whittier towers, and Amy Lowell Apartments. The owners have granted the City a right-of-way for emergency vehicle access, making this a designated Fire Lane requiring an unobstructed width of not less than 20 feet under MA Fire Code 527 CMR 1.00. The central section — between the Alcott/Amy Lowell property line and the MGH/Equity Villas/Whittier/Emerson junction — has been cleared only to a width of approximately 6–10 feet, falling well short of the 20-foot requirement. While the western section from O'Connell Way to The Alcott has been plowed to a broader width, the central section remains dangerously narrow. This path is a primary commute route for hundreds of MGH staff walking daily between North Station and the hospital. Equity Residential management has been formally notified but as recently as three weeks ago erroneously characterized Thoreau Path as a city road, disclaiming responsibility for clearance. Please dispatch an inspector to issue a citation and mandate immediate clearing to the required 20-foot width for life-safety access.

North End Streets are terrible and sidewalks too! Only the main streets have been cleared. Come on boston- we can do better.

So much trash around the north end still- trash trucks went around and left so much in the snow that was there since yesterday

Hi! There’s a manhole cover not completely closed on the bike path in the north end by the ice rink. | Case (SR) Type: [Mass DCR] Referred To: [Mass DCR]

Buildings on right side of Baldwin in the north end put all their snow onto the street overnight so no one who parks down there can get out

Foster street north end lot. It’s not private. Residential parking needs a plow

The snow plow says it won’t come down Baldwin Pl because it can’t fit….: The street needs to be plowed while landlords of course take care of the sidewalks. there has to be some sort of mini plow or city snow blower that could take care of this, as there are most definitely more narrow streets in the north end and other areas of the city.

Corner of north Washington and Valente near parking lot near Ward 8 never shovels- crosswalk and handicapp ramp here for street access and never is cleaned. Please contact the owner of the parking lot they abandoned this area every winter!
