Town of Swampscott PLUS

A large tree limb was broken off of a big maple tree that is at the corner basically of Cherry Street and Buena Vista. It may already have been reported but I don't know this happened early this morning and I haven't seen any activity down there. Thank you.

Gravel sidewalk disintegrating and fearful that someone walking will get hurt/fall. Lots of pedestrian traffic and children in area.

How is the gas leaf blower ban being enforced?

Our sidewalk has become nearly impassible because of a root from a town tree. Im sure it’s a risk for elderly and/or other mobility challenges. The town expects me to clear snow - but that’s nearly impossible and puts equipment at risk. This needs correction.

These 2 photos are taken on February 11 of this year, less than 6 months of bench services. The bench at Windsor Playground should be replaced. It has rust all over the place and due to the fact that it’s iron it’s almost impossible to sit on it in a hot weather, which is most of the summer. It should be replaced with wooden sit and/or moved to a shade environment under the tree or shade should be installed on that area. For kids there is not enough shade place as well - plastic swings and slide is not possible to use during the hot weather. Kids can burn or not use playground at all. Thanks!

Cars in front of 178/180 continue to park on the sidewalk blocking walkers and children and forcing them to walk on the street.

SUVs and pickup trucks are the norm.

Today a jogger was almost hit.

Broken curb

Large orange barrel on grass near sidewalk, near pole #16, presumably left over from paving.

Just curious when grass seed will be put down along the sidewalk in the area that was filled in with dirt after the street was paved.

Along Phillips Beach Avenue, beside house #89 (I think) there is public path down to the beach. Unfortunately before getting to the sand there is a huge patch of very large pebbles and smooth rocks. For an older person like me who has balance issues it is impossible to get to the sand and water. My question is whether the town would consider putting a discreet walkway across the pebbles and stones. I would be happy to contribute toward the cost of this endeavor and I believe it would benefit many people in the community. Leona Samson Hunter
