  • 153 Elmwood Road Swampscott, Massachusetts, 01907 - Swampscott
    Can you please have residents of 153 Elmwood Road shovel and de-ice their sidewalk? Storm after storm and year after year the sidewalk at this location is full of snow and/or ice and is inaccessible and unsafe for pedestrians, strollers, wheelchairs, etc.
  • Hampden St & Middlesex Ave Swampscott, MA, 01907, USA - Swampscott
    The sump pump from 81 Middlesex drains into the sidewalk making this ice patch. This is the third year I have submitted the same issue. Except that this time, one of my kids who was running around the corner didn’t see it and slipped. They are fine, but how long is this going to continue?!

  • Erie St Swampscott, Massachusetts, 01907 - Swampscott
    The sidewalks on 5 Erie street are uneven, buckling with roots and do not promote water drainage to the ONE storm grate we have on the entire street. The side walks need to be addressed and graded in a way that promote good water flow toward that solitary drain. Safety concern. This street has a high water table and many of us are in a flood zone and has not been properly served to manage the ground and storm water.
  • 207 Burrill St Swampscott MA 01907, United States - Swampscott
    Off the wall up down ramp North bound side pside see dumped wood in the track area
  • 212-220 Burrill St Swampscott, MA, 01907, USA - Swampscott
    This could be a bigger town issue than for this website, but something should be done about the sidewalks on Burrill under the train. Constantly seeing massive piles of bird poop, trash, even dead birds and parts of dead birds. There has to be a cost-effective option to preventing this problem.
    Burrill St was once ranked by Boston Magazine as the best street to live on the North Shore, but I have to carry my toddlers under this bridge to keep them safe from touching or stepping on dead animals and feces that could harm them...
  • Jessie St & Tidd St Swampscott, MA, 01907, USA - Swampscott

    Hello, I'm hoping that somebody can provide me with an update on the status of repaving Jessie St. It's in desperate need of repair, and the nonexistent sidewalk poses challenges for everybody, including neighbors with limited mobility, those who push strollers, and many young kids who are forced to walk in the street to get to the bus stop.

    When I reached out in 2022, I was told it would be replaced in 2023. However, National Grid then informed DPW that the gas main needed replacing, and the paving would need to be delayed until a year after the gas main was completed.

    Unfortunately, the gas main wasn't replaced in 2023 like planned, but it was replaced in the spring of 2024, and it has now been 1 year. Last year, the director of the DPW said it would be repaved in 2025, and he was committed to also "including a new sidewalk and berm with the paving project".

    I, and many of my neighbors, would love any updates about the status of this project. Thanks!
