Initial request ignored by DPW. Public safety hazard at this location Acknowledged

Clifton St & Highland Ave Malden, MA, 02148, USA

A pedestrian is going to get hit at this location. Signage is needed and road marking ASAP. Cars do not stop and cannot see crosswalk. See initial request below made 9 days ago and ignored by DPW. If we can afford $20,000 worth of unneeded signage in the ward councilors neighborhood then we can afford to make this crossing safe for people needing to get to park!

The crosswalk at this location has no signage and is virtually invisible to drivers with all the construction on the road. This crosswalk is at a park with many families with children needing to cross from Clifton to the park. In many instances car simply do not stop for pedestrians. With all the signage in recent years in ward three, in much less busy areas, this area at a park seems to have been overlooked by our city leaders. If the DPW could repaint the crosswalk ASAP that would at least help drivers identify it as a crosswalk while city leaders look at funding for needed signage.

Manhole Cover or Utility Cap Archived

60 Glen Rock Avenue Malden, Massachusetts, 02148

This was reported last year and didn’t get fixed. The plow drivers took some hard jolts while plowing and lifted the cover completely off numerous times. Neighbors put it back in place! This is a safety hazard and needs to be fixed asap. The rim is cracked and a big piece is missing. Thank you

  Water Utilities will first assess if this if a Malden manhole or other utility manhole cover first. If it belongs to Malden a new casting will need to be installed and repaved and if it belongs to another utility they will be notified. Thank you

Please could you have the homeowners cut back their bushes.
Driving up on Hawthorne St to Glenwood St and stopping at the STOP sign to proceed across Glenwood is a safety concern.
The bushes are blocking a drivers view.
Cars are driving fast up Glenwood from Highland Ave. You have to inch your way out from Hawthorne St to Glenwood to see the traffic and then it might be to late.
For years that area was a hot spot for accidents.
Thank you

401 Pleasant St Malden MA 02148, United States

We need another crossing guard by Beebe school. There used to be one near Russell street but there hasn't been a crossing guard here for weeks. That means there is only one safe place to cross on Pleasant Street for families. People are not kind enough to stop on their own. They drive way too fast and are always speeding to make the light at Pleasant and Highland. Please assign another crossing guard! The principal, Dr Murphy says she has reached out about this as well. Thank you!

  We have a total of 8 in the area. The crossing guard at Russell street is out right now and will return. There is a crossing guard at Highland Ave and another one east of Russell street

  Thank you for your response. I know of the other crossing guards in the area and I’m glad to hear that crossing guard is returning. However, I would like to think that you are already aware of the volume of traffic around the school during drop off time and also the tendency of Malden drivers to speed and not pay attention to pedestrians, stop lights, etc. People speed down Pleasant street all the time in order to run through the impending yellow light at Highland. I don’t think it was ridiculous of me to ask for an interim replacement for this crossing guard and I do hope your team has the safety of Malden’s children as a top priority

Impassible snow sidewalk at an already extremely dangerous intersection. Forced me into the road with my baby, where we were nearly hit by a car speeding through the intersection.

Vista St Malden, MA, 02148, USA

People are continuing to fly down Vista the wrong way. They then pull down the street and pull into the senior housing parking lot half way down the street. An older gentleman in a res car almost hit someone who was driving the one way correctly. He pulled into the garage below the senior housing building and said he drives like that all the time.

39 Glen Rock Ave Malden, MA 02148, USA

Just general question about the US Postal vans. Looks like most of them running in Malden does not have front nor back license plate. Also it does not seems they have any temporary plate noticible any where on the windshield. Just wondering are they not required to have a valid registration plate displayed when driving on public road !?

  Those vehicles are exempt from registration requirements. They do have identification numbers on each vehicle
