Concerned about the newly traced lines on main street preparing itself for street painting. The traced lines indicate that there will be a bike lane on both sides? This eliminates parking on the even side and several cuts off parking on the odd side. Parking that is absolutely needed on Main Street. Please confirm.

The recent lane change configuration at the intersection of Medford St. and the Fellsway has created a situation where vehicles traveling east on Medford Street are going over double yellow line to access the left turn line. Before this change, vehicles traveling east would access the left turn lane if they were turning left OR going straight through the intersection onto Central St. Medford. Now vehicles traveling straight OR turning right are in the right lane - creating a long line of traffic further back on Medford St. Drivers appear to get frustrated and go over the double yellow line to access the left lane ahead. Additionally, thee seems to be a shorter time allowance on the green arrow for those turning left onto the Fellsway, This has created a very dangerous situation outside my home at 494 Medford Street particularly between 7:15 - 7:45 AM on weekday mornings. On numerous occasions since school has been back in session, we have almost been hit by vehicles crossing the double-yellow line near our home. I will reach out to the state police also as I think they oversee the Fellsway as a road. The intersection lights need to go back to the old configuration/timing. We have lived here since 2013 and prior to the change at the lights, this was never a problem. Thank you!

Any plans for bike lane street markings to reinforce the signs on this stretch of Commercial?
Thanks!

I would like to know why the city doesn't put a sidewalk on either side of this section of the street , there is about a 80' stretch that someone on a wheelchair would have to move in the road , you should at least put sidewalk in one side so it comply with ADA rules . Better do it now while you working them wait and have to redo it when someone sues the city for mobility challenges .

Is this intersection on the list for getting real walk signals and better lights? It is a very busy intersection with people speeding toward the Fellsway or down highland. And there are lots of pedestrians with both Mystic Valley and Beebe nearby.

I am a resident on Kenmore Road and would like to know why the City Engineer is unreachable and allowed to work from home today when Kenmore Road and Autumn Street have no water until 3pm or later? How is this reasonable?

Does anyone know when Fairlawn and Autumn streets will have the sidewalk and streets replaced? We had a neighborhood meeting two years ago with Councilor O'Malley and we were told they were going to be replaced. I am sure Mr. Knox and Mr. O'Malley monitor this app. Can this please put on the priority list.

Wallace St and Wallace Circle entrances needs to be resurfaced, it is unacceptable and dangerous. There is not only cracking of the asphalt but rutting on the entrance where the road surface is elevated up a good half foot from what it should be.

Every time it rains, even a little shower like we had today, this section of Swains Pond Ave. across from number 11 and beside the In and Out convenience store floods and stays there for days. There is a catch basin a little further down Swains Pond Avenue but the water does not drain to it.
Steve Winslow our Ward 6 Councilor once told me he is on a committee to address these draining issues.
Well this is his Ward 6 so why hasn’t this been fixed? This is right next to the convenient store there and buses use behind the store as a turn around and it makes all mud that never dries.
This water problem has been there for years. Please once and for all fix this section of the street so the water drains to the catch basin.
The sidewalk gets completely flooded and impassable for days.
Thanks for your quick attention to this flood problem which has been there for at least a few years.
