  • Carver Rd & Carver Rd E Watertown, Massachusetts, 02472 - Watertown
    animal remains near large trees
  • Conant Rd Watertown, Massachusetts, 02472 - Watertown
    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.

    Pothole that is causing drainage issues as water pools instead of flowing into the grate down the street.
  • 164 Galen Street Watertown, Massachusetts, 02472 - Watertown
    I am a Watertown resident and tax payer, my name is Jhon Cuervo and I am writing to request the patching of a pothole in the intersection of William Street and Galen Street, I live at 164 Galen, and noise of heavy trucks out of Mass Pike when they hit the pothole is unbearable. Cars fly on Galen Street and it would be great if also the speed limit can be reduced.
    I also would like to inquire if there are any plans to repave Common St. and White St. These roads are nothing but lousy patchings from works done and it does a number of the car's suspension.
  • 142 Forest Street Watertown, MA, 02472, USA - Watertown
    The pictures don’t do it justice. This area is awful to drive through. Apart from that, the side walks are destroyed so you’re forced to also walk on the very bumpy and unsafe road with strollers and kids riding their bikes/scooters. Please repave this area and redo all the sidewalks making it accessible to everyone including children and disabled people.
  • 81 Pleasant Street Watertown, MA, 02472, USA - Watertown
    In front of 81 pleasant st. on the eastbound side of the road.
  • Carey Ave & Michael Ave Watertown Town, MA, 02472, USA - Watertown
    Lots of potholes at the corner of Michael to Carey Ave.
  • 18-34 Grandview Ave Watertown Town, MA, 02472, USA - Watertown

    Jagged pothole in middle of road across from 28-30 Grandview Ave (yellow condo).

    As of 20Jun2025 the pothole measures approximately 26” and 30” at its widest points and 2-4” in varying depth. Pothole appears to be gradually increasing in size in a relatively short period of time, and poses harmful risks to cyclists as well as potential wheel damage to any vehicles traversing Grandview Ave.

    Requesting prioritized repair by City of Watertown DPW.

    Thank you in advance,
    20-year resident of Grandview Ave, Watertown MA
