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.

Request for the city to take ownership of Denvir street so it can be properly maintained. It's a very short street that connects 2 city streets, and is the only access for multiple homes that cannot otherwise access Shepton street, or Edwin street. Denvir street is in very poor condition, as evidenced by several 311 pothole complaints over the course of many years. The street is currently listed as a "private way", but the city already seems to take responsibility for it for plowing, utilities work, and directing traffic during the recent Dorchester Day parade. As this appears to have been a multi-decade issue, it would be best if the city could properly maintain the short road for the safety of residents, and city workers who use it daily.

Second request: BWS cover broken and missing since winter snowfalls and plowing in front of 880 E Broadway. South Boston

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

During the winter, the no parking/tow zone sign on Cummings Rd., the east/south corner at Egremont, was knocked down/removed, probably during plowing. Cars are parking there now, ina way that makes it hard for the trash truck to back into 36-40 Cummings for trash removal. We have missed a number of trash pickups as a result. Can a new sign be installed?
