People are still space saving in the North End. Please remove! Thank you!

I was ticketed for parking in a handicap spot on my street on Charter a couple years ago, and fought it successfully, and it was dismissed. One of the signs for the handicap spot, had been removed or knocked down, and I thought my neighbor, who had been calling for it to be removed as a handicap designation had finally succeeded in that effort. I was wrong and got ticketed. I have <truncated>

Commercial Street at Burroughs Wharf - crosswalk is unusable due to untouched snow covering the sidewalk and handicap ramps. It forces people to walk in the street on a major roadway. There is plenty of room in the immediate are to move this snow - please move it. Also, Commercial Street in this area is inadequately plowed, as it only allows for one lane of traffic each way, despite it being a two lane road outbound. Despite having no cars on this street for two days due to the snow emergency, the city decided not to plow the second lane of traffic? Furthermore, they have plenty of room to push the snow back from the second lane of traffic, as there is an adjacent bike lane that is untouched and unusable for bikes. So why not push the snow from the second lane of traffic back into the bike lane that cannot be used? I know it was a big snow storm, but the snow removal efforts in the North End has seemed below average at best.

Illegal space savers throughout the North end…copper & thatcher

North end of Charlestown. Medford street, near corner with Main Street. Sidewalk belonging to the fire station is completely blocked by a huge mound of snow and MACHINERY PARKED RIGHT ON THE SIDEWALK!!! This is outrageous! Whoever chose to do this should get a negative notation in his or her personnel file.

Parcel ID: 0302026000. Caller states the plows piled a huge pile of snow blocking in the entire lot. requesting removal. | Municipal lot number on the posted sign: [Yes] If Yes, provide the number: [Parcel ID: 0302026000] Nature of the call: [Snow removal]

please help! Wiget street, narrow street in North End needs snow removed. Safety issues for emergency vehicles, fire issues, trash not being cleaned up due to snow. In past storms city would have to remove the snow to make the street accessible. Please help

Snow was never cleared on city-owned crosswalk on the median at New Chardon Street, at the end of Canal Street. There are thousands of daily pedestrians who cross there every day from North Station and the snow forces them onto the street where there's heavy traffic.

There’s a number of issues all relating back to the storm (and another storm is coming on Sun). Wasn’t everyone in the North End supposed to move their cars to a garage? Well, that did not happen. Instead, cars are all sitting on Sheafe St, Salem St etc. covered in an igloo of snow so you can’t even cross the street because it’s car to car snow. Which leads to the next issue, I witnessed this morning the trash men can’t collect some trash because they have no way to retrieve it (car to car snow igloos), so the trash hasn’t been taken and this street has a huge rat problem and trash just sitting out for 3-4 days will be a problem. Can you tow all these cars that have obviously not moved since the snow?
