Gang tagging of shoes in trees

Drain in Copps Hill Terrace is clogged and water is collecting. Flood risk

I am writing on behalf of many residents in the Stoney Brook neighborhood of Hyde Park, MA 02136, to express our serious concerns regarding recurring large gatherings that have created significant public safety and quality-of-life issues within our community. On this occasion, an estimated 200 individuals gathered in the area, with vehicles parked throughout the neighborhood. The gathering resulted in excessive noise from amplified music, widespread littering, and substantial disruption to residents. The streets along Alwin Street, Raldne Road, and Kovey Court were left covered with trash, requiring extensive cleanup. In addition, the playground located on Raldne Road was vandalized with graffiti and left in disarray. Numerous fireworks were discharged throughout the event, with several striking nearby homes, creating a dangerous situation for residents and property. These recurring parties have left many members of the community feeling concerned, frustrated, intimidated, and unsafe in their own neighborhood. We respectfully request increased attention and enforcement to address these ongoing disturbances and help restore the safety and peace of our community. The primary locations associated with these gatherings include: * 19–21 Raldne Road, Hyde Park, MA 02136 * 8–10 Kovey Road, Hyde Park, MA 02136 * 29 Raldne Road, Hyde Park, MA 02136 Additionally, there are concerns regarding what appears to be an illegally installed swimming pool extending onto a neighboring property without authorization. We respectfully request that this matter also be reviewed by the appropriate city department. I have already submitted a report through the City’s 311 system and wanted to bring these concerns directly to your attention. We appreciate your time, attention, and any assistance you can provide in addressing these ongoing issues and protecting the safety and well-being of our neighborhood. Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter.

Hi there, I’m not sure if this is the correct department to reach out to, but figured I give it a go. I returned a rental car Tuesday afternoon at the Hertz location across the street from Lincoln Square park. I had spent the last week camping throughout New England and had a camping gas canister that I tried to recycle at different outdoor stores, but none took it. I had to get to Logan to catch a flight, so I threw the canister away at a trash can in the park, but I recognize now I likely shouldn’t have done that. I don’t want it to cause any issues, so I’m reaching out to see if it’s possible for someone to go to the park and safely dispose of the canister? It’s in the bin closest to the rental car facility. I don’t have any photos but I’m happy to provide more details, if needed. Thank you.
