When will the street be paved?

Contractor working on sidewalks entered our property and placed plastic debris from metal curb cuts into our trash container. Please have them come back and remove the trash/plastic they where not authorized to put in our container and did not bag properly. Thanks

The retaining wall of my property at 8 Murray Hill Road has become significantly damaged during the road work and sidewalk work occurring over the past 2 months. The major cracks were not present prior to the jack hammering and construction activities and require repair.

I've received a quote for the repairs, totaling $10,000. Photographs from before the construction began show that the wall did not have these significant cracks (see attached photograph).

No lane lines. Took almost a month to pave a tiny strip of road that should have been a single day project. Now who knows when lane lines will be added.

Tufts Construction is replacing the water main on Poplar St. Residents were given a letter from the City Engineering Dept on July 19 stating the "during construction, trenches and other excavated areas will be backfilled and patched." This has not happened and has caused a severe dust problem in the neighborhood. The trenches have been backfilled but not patched.
We are not able to keep our windows open because of the dust from the construction.

Flooding whenever there’s snow melt or rain. Is there a grading problem that needs to be fixed here?

Glenrock Ave’s road condition is deplorable. The street has experienced heavy construction vehicles from Melrose (Brazil St) last fall and all summer to the ongoing Malden gas upgrades. It feels like a small earthquake in my house each time a truck or school bus passes by plus items are falling to the floor from the vibrations. I’m not sure how to solve this problem but would appreciate it if you could think of something.
