Department of Public Works PLUS

We have been reporting this for over two years now. It’s a mess and it’s a hazard that could potentially turn into a sinkhole. The town “fixed” it and made it worse three years ago. I will be contacting the city every week for the rest of the year until our street is replaced correctly. It hasn’t been paved in over 37 years.

Whole section of pockmarked street needs to be repaved (intersection of Theurer Park & Jackson Rd)

Constituent reported major failure crack appearing up the center of Edenfield Avenue from Main Street all the way up past Bemis Street intersection. Manhole castings asphalt surfaces are showing cracks also. These cracks are recent appearances.

There is a street sign missing for “stop sign ahead”. The new stop sign has been up for months yet still 10-20% of cars I see (I work from home and can hear and see them) going through this intersection fail to stop to even attempt to stop. They just fly right through. Southbound is almost understandable since the sign is behind a tree. North bound, the drivers must be staring at their phone and not aware that kids may be crossing the street and just go 30mph straight through. Is there any increased viability that could be done to remedy this? Perhaps one of those flashing stop signs, a stop ahead sign, street paint…? I fear only when someone dies trying to cross the street will Watertown think to do something about it. It was hard enough getting this sign in the first place and that was only after numerous serious crashes and requests.

Missing No Parking sign on Morse St at the corner of union st. People park AT the corner making it a blind stop sign in one direction and a blind hill going down Morse st. It's very dangerous cannot see in either direction when coming off union at stop sign.
THE BASE OF POLE OF THE SIGN IS STICKING OUT OF THE SIDEWALK I fell on it last night AGAIN.
REPLACE THE SIGN BEFORE THERE IS A SERIOUS COLLISION THERE. Thx ,,

The pole at intersection of Loomis Ave and Downey st is out.
