Next to the Pump Station on Worth Avenue, there are some very large trees (Sixty Foot Pluss) that are totally dead and ready to come down. If/when they do come down, they will probably take down the primary electrical wires that feed the Meadowbrook Co-op Units that are across the street. They will also compromise the electrical vault that feeds the Pump Station.

A very large limb has fallen already and is partially on the sidewalk next to the Pump Station also. Speaking of the Pump Station and the closed swimming pool that the town has acquired, the liner is now covered with water, growth of weeds and much debris. Now the water is starting to give off a very bad order and attract vermin. Public Works has done their best to secure the pool buildings and entry points, but this vacant pool site is just an accident waiting to happen and let’s just hope that kids do not attempt to get in there again. Please address both of these concerns as safety issues that could lead to major litigation actions!
Thank you again, especially to the Public Works Crews for doing their best to secure this major concern. Please do your best to expedite these safety concerns!

Respectfully,
Bob Freeman

Good day - on weekday mornings near 7 am a school bus parks on Dixwell Ave. at the foot of Hillcrest. The bus driver may not be aware, but this is creating a traffic hazard as drivers coming down Hillcrest can not clearly see southbound traffic on Dixwell Ave. An accident almost occured there this morning, for a driver was looking to turn left on to Dixwell to go northbound and could not see the southbound vehicle. Before a potentially bad accident does take place, it would be be beneficial to address this dangerous situation.

A town vehicle hit my mailbox and as a result I am not able to get mail delivered. Please contact me with the process to get this resolved. My phone number is 636-236-1377.

The intersection at the corner of Warner and West Easton St presents a significant safety concern due to its inherent blind spot and narrow configuration. Motorists navigating this corner encounter a serious challenge as neither street is visible during the turn, exacerbated by the tendency of many drivers to traverse it at high speeds. Consequently, this route poses considerable risk, even for the most cautious drivers.

To address these safety issues, the installation of a large convex mirror at the corner might be the key. This mirror should substantially enhance visibility, thereby mitigating the dangers associated with the blind spot. With the mirror in place, responsible drivers would have the ability to effectively survey the bend for oncoming traffic that would otherwise remain unseen. Additionally, it would serve as a valuable tool in alerting drivers to the presence of reckless motorists, fostering a safer environment for all road users.

The necessity for such a measure is underscored by the numerous near-miss incidents experienced by members of the community. Without prompt reactions, these instances could have easily resulted in accidents. By implementing a large convex mirror, we can proactively address this pressing safety concern and promote safer driving practices at the Warner and West Easton St intersection.

Thick ice sheets covering 1/2 the road which forces opposing traffic into the same lane. Serious issue

The newly installed Island on Howard Drive Between house #'s 227 & 228 has never been mowed! The grass is in excess of 3' with weeds growing out of control.

Treadwell St by entrance to Space Ballroom ,et al . Along boulevard parallel to Treadwell filled with large stones covering grass/dirt path people used to walk and sometimes ride bike to get to and from Farmington Canal. Now residents will have to walk in the street. Stone should be removed on portion runs parallel to street to width of a sidewalk

Apartment building with no hot water for 2 days. Zero response from apartment complex management, zero communication. Another building in complex also without hot water. Families are boiling water to bathe their children. This is unacceptable.
