Sidewalk on Claremont is in serious disrepair and forces people to walk in the street. Please prioritize repairs now that the street has been repaved.

MAJOR sidewalk issues by 57 Bradlee Ave. kids cannot walk or ride bikes, people cannot walk and not safe to be on the street where there is a sharp curve that cars take prior to this location. I have also submitted this issue to the US Department of Justice Civil Rights Division under the Americans with Disabilities Act. Would recommend the town act on fixing this as soon as possible.

Ladder has been tied to house since April 2025, without any ongoing work/workers present (no work permits visible either). No safety protection taken to prevent children/individuals from climbing (10 feet from sidewalk). Safety concerns about falling into street, neighboring houses, individuals. Base of ladder is in neighboring driveway. Owners of neighboring driveway have repeatedly requested removal of hazard.

There’s a solar powered screen parked directly in front of my driveway on the sidewalk, no room for pedestrians unless they walk into traffic or into my driveway which is often full of cars being a multi family house. I have to do a 38 point turn to get in or out. Super frustrating

kids play basketball on a basketball hoop hung from telephone pole, above sidewalk. it’s a danger to the kids, the people who use the sidewalk and the cars parked underneath.

The trees on the sidewalk have very large roots creating an issue for walking and for getting out of my driveway. Our neighbor two house down had the DPW out to remove the roots and redo the sidewalk. How can I get the same results.
