  • 241 Perkins St. B701 Jamaica Plain, MA - Jamaica Plain

    There is absolutely no access to safe pedestrian crossing between our condominium at 241 Perkins St., Jamaica Plain (Cabot Estate) and Jamaica Pond, which is directly across the street. We are a community of 161 residences and more than 300 people living in a virtual pedestrian island. Yesterday one of our neighbors was hit a seriously injured while crossing the street. We have been trying for decades to hear "yes" from someone with the authority to give us a safe way to cross the street. We have heard lots of folks say "no, because....." but it seems illogical that there is no one who can figure out a way to permit folks in our community to safely cross the street.

  • 241 Perkins Street - Jamaica Plain

    Cabot Estate Condominiums are home to over 300 people
    who cross the 30 feet from the entrance of the complex across Perkins Street to Jamaica Pond. The crossing is hazardous because of the blind curve coming west, the recklessness of some drivers and the lack of a crosswalk and signage. On 9/10/2010 my S.O. was crossing with her dog, as she does 4 times each day, when she was struck by a distracted driver and sent to the ICU with 8 broken bones and a subdural hematoma. If she were not light and in excellent physical condition, she would have been the fatality which would get attention.

  • Something is seriously wrong with the roadway and/or the expansion joints on this overpass and the city should make it a priority to fix it. It's like driving over 15 jolting drops no matter what side you're driving on and it's only gotten worse this winter, no doubt because the road needs to be plowed. If the traffic isn't bad, take the extra time to stay below and avoid this overpass. Your suspension will thank you.

  • 7-11 Sheridan St Boston, MA 02130, USA - Mission Hill

    Sheridan Street has been littered with graffiti tags that say "meow" and "cat-hill" up and down the street over the past few months. From mailboxes, to the retaining wall at 7 Sheridan to the side wall of "slice o Pie" pizza, stop signs and a for sale sign on the corner of Sheridan and Chestnut.

    Please shovel out my car (2011 Navy Blue Subaru Sedan (625JS6) parked in front of 14 John A. Andrew Street in Jamaica Plain and the sidewalk if it is needed. I have an orange snow pusher on a long handle on the front porch for you to use to remove the snow from my car. It makes the work easier and protects the car. Thank you!

  • 279 Chestnut Ave Boston, MA - Jamaica Plain

    live on chestnut avenue in JP. My fiancé is a co-owner of a parking lot on chestnut avenue near biltmore street. One of the owners lives out of state and the other two don't offer to help shovel/snow plow at all or to pay someone to do it. There is limited communication about this lot, despite our many attempts to come up with a plan for how to maintain and improve the lot, which many consider free off street parking. Two winters ago, we had multiple storms. My fiancé, one or two neighbors and I removed the snow. I was amazed by the lack of interest in helping to remove snow from what is being used as a community parking lot.

    Once this lot was purchased, it was our hope to be able to resurface this lot so that we could get a snow plow in it. See, there is rock jutting up in the middle if the lot that would damage the snow plow. That option is out.

    My fiancé purchased a snow blower with one other owner who never once helped clear the snow from the lot after multiple storms two years ago.

    Now I have a horrible cold and my fiancé strained his back yesterday. We are at a loss about what to do. No one made any effort to shovel the lot yesterday. This apathy makes me sad. With so many social activists in JP, it is shocking what people take for granted-not even picking up a finger to help do anything but clear out their own cars after the "hard" work has been done by others. In my opinion, anyone who uses this lot should feel obligated to help us shovel the lot.

    If the lot isn't cleared, I will not be able to do my job on Monday--I need to visit elderly clients in their homes. Hopefully, I will feel better today, but I cannot see doing the whole job by myself. I think my upstairs neighbor will help, as he did Two winters ago. But, what about all the so-called "community" members who use this lot. Two years ago before jp patch, I had nowhere to voice this opinion. Thank you for creating this forum.

    Anyway, again my fiancé has a back injury and cannot shovel of use our snow blower. I am sick with a cold, feeling weak, sneezing tons and can do some shoveling, but I am not feeling extremely strong to shovel heavy snow after a very cold night by myself-especially the amount needed. Is there anyone out there who wants to help? We would grately appreciate it. If so, email me at vrhargrove7@gmail.com. I will also contact neighbors for neighbors but that is mostly meant for elderly and disabled people.

    I eagerly await some replies.
