Parking / Traffic Signs Closed

Alpine St & Maple St Malden, MA, 02148, USA

Reiterating the issue identified in #9275249. There is a car parked on Maple at the corner of Alpine. This is a high traffic through street and this location needs a "no parking from here to corner" sign. It is difficult to see oncoming vehicles. There is traffic from the Beebee school, two Montessouri schools on the street, general traffic, and lots of pedestrians. Very dangerous and "no parking here to corner" should be implemented for public safety.

  Oh and I forgot to mention that there is also traffic from the Verizon parking lot that is located at that intersection, adding more complexity to turning left at that corner. Thanks!

97 Cushing Rd Malden, MA, 02148, USA

Large number of cars, buses and dump trucks driving down Cushing rd from the Savin St (Medford) end of the neighborhood. I assume there is a detour from the Fellsway and many of these cars are speeding down the street seemingly not knowing where they’re going

20 Rockland Ave Malden, MA, 02148, USA

Silver car is illegally parked between the two signs that clearly say "No Parking Between Signs." The car has situated itself in such a way as to make exiting Rockland Park extremely difficult. If a car were to slide in the snow when exiting Rockland Park, the driver would have a choice of hitting a telephone pole or this inconsiderate imbecile's car. Emergency vehicles would not be able to exit Rockland Park easily due to this car. This is a safety issue.

Alpine St Malden, MA, 02148, USA

Please reconsider your response to issue #9275244. When parking is not enforced on Alpine St during a snowstorm (which it never is), it creates a safety hazard. This is a steep hill. When parked cars do not move, it makes it difficult to get up the hill. Many of us have had to abandon our vehicles because we get stuck as a result. In addition, after the storm, these illegally parked vehicles leave a mess on the street. The unplowed snow from the parked cars end up all over the street and we can't get up the hill. PLEASE ACTIVELY ENFORCE WINTER PARKING BAN ON ALPINE STREET.

  Sorry if the response wasn't clear. Let me add some more.
  
  On a day to day basis, Alpine only allows parking on one side. Therefore, the usual winter parking regulations that are enforced aren't applicable as it is already one sided parking.
  
  When a snow emergency is declared (which won't start until after 12 today), additional restrictions call for no parking on either side of Alpine. This is the case with over 200 streets citywide. Generally speaking, vehicles in violation are fined $25 for being parked in violation of a snow emergency. In addition, main arteries are routinely towed during a snow emergency. Side streets are towed when the DPW indicates that an illegally parked vehicle makes it not possible for the plow to access the street. Note that this is a different standard than not allowing them to do a better job. Towing resources are not unlimited, and therefore have to be focused on the most problematic areas. Aside from main roads, on secondary roads, towing will usually focus on streets where vehicles are parked on both sides making passage impossible. That said, we will make sure that when the emergency starts that someone starts by ticketing vehicles parked illegally on Alpine and I've reached out to the DPW to ask that they let us know if any illegally parked cars prevent the plows and sanders from accessing the street entirely.

  Thank you. If cars can't be towed due to restricted resources and the city considering Alpine St to be a low priority, starting to ticket vehicles will at least be a start toward making it better for future storm violators in the hopes that they will move their cars next time to avoid a ticket. I understand the difference between the standard in not allowing the plows to do a "better" job, but the after effects that spills onto the street when the violators move their cars after being plowed in are both dangerous (sliding into parked cars when trying to get up the hill) and inconvenient (not being able to get up the hill and having to either abandon or find parking somewhere in the surrounding streets until the snow melts). I recognize the monumental effort that it takes to coordinate parking enforcement city wide during storms and appreciate anything you can do to help with this longstanding problem on Alpine St. Thank you!

347 Pleasant St Malden, MA 02148, USA

Early this morning someone made an extremely serious and concerning allegation regarding a business not merely failing to comply with public health rules, but actively working against those rules and endangering public health and safety. It's not just another nonsense report about someone walking down a street not wearing a mask or whatever. It is far beyond that, describing conduct that knowingly and actively facilitates the spread of the virus from individuals known to be ill. It is among the most serious and dangerous things I've ever seen reported on SCF. And if true, it is exactly the kind of behavior that is causing all the rest of us to have to continue to make so many sacrifices, like our children who can't even go to school, hang out with their friends, or play high school sports, like kids should be able to do. They cannot do those things precisely because of the type of behavior that was reported, which ensures the virus' continued spread. Yet the report has not even been acknowledged by the city. It ought to be treated like the life-threatening public health emergency it is, and dealt with immediately. I can't know whether what is alleged is true. But, just as the police don't know whether every report they get is true but investigate just the same, I do expect the city to investigate promptly and thoroughly in order to find out, and to advise the community concerning the matter. We all have a right to expect nothing less.

127-153 Summer St Malden, MA, 02148, USA

Rockland Avenue is a one-way street, so the only exit is to turn onto Summer Street. However, the parked cars make it very difficult to see oncoming traffic on the left. I believe that there are many accidents in this intersection because of this.

  At this time we have enforcement staff out across the city issuing citations to those in violation of the winter parking regulations. If the plow is unable to get down the street entirely the DPW will communicate with the police who then will determine if vehicles need to be towed.

Can you replace one of the new speed standards located by the old Glenwood School
The top part was probably taken out by a car and the bottom piece is still attached to the street. Someone's car tire could be destroyed.
Thank you
