A city snowplow hit the street sign pole outside my house last winter, leaving it significantly bent and leaning toward my home at 194 Dorchester St. The pole has remained in this condition for several months, and I’m concerned about its proximity to my house and the potential for damage to my property, particularly during high winds, heavy snow, or future plowing operations. Given that the pole was damaged during snow removal and another winter is approaching, I’d appreciate having it inspected and repaired or replaced before conditions worsen. Photo attached showing the extent of the lean and proximity to my home. Thank you.

Two years ago the city repaved Beacon Street in the Back Bay between Arlington Street and Mass Ave, however you omitted repaving the last block of Beacon Street in the Back Bay, the one that runs from Mass Ave to Charles Gate East. This block was in the worst condition of any block along Beacon Street. In the past two years the block has only gotten worse. All the manhole covers have sunken further as well as the asphalt patches installed after water and gas pipes were replaced over the years. This block has heavy truck travel, most of which turn off Mass Ave in order to head west. Three bus lines, BU, MIT and LMA, also turn off Mas Ave to pick up students living on the block. They literally bounce over these many depressions, especially the empty trucks, particularly open cargo trucks. In fact when they bounce they produce a vibration that can be felt in our buildings, which can occur as early as 6 A.M. Not the best way to be awakened in the morning. I must tell you also I have lived on this block for more than forty years so I know this block does not always get the same attention, e.g. snow plowing, as other Beacon Street blocks do. Thank you for your attention to this matter, Sincerely, Kevin Downey 520 Beacon Street, Apt 4 B kevindowney@comcast.net
