  • 10 Hunt Street Watertown, MA, 02472, USA - Watertown
    There is a power line or cable line that has fallen from the poll and been cut. It has exposed wires and is completely covering up the sidewalk. It’s been that way for days.

  • Street Light OutAcknowledged

    Last sentence of the previous post should say there is no longer a lane from which to make a left turn onto Bond Street
  • Mount Auburn Street Ext Watertown Town, MA, 02472, USA - Watertown
    From Galen St, Traffic signal entering onto Mt Auburn/Main isn't operating accurately nor consistently. For years, the 2 left arrows for 2 left lanes were followed by a delayed green for the 2 right lanes. Recently, all 4 lanes have received green, simultaneously. However, it has been inconsistent and unpredictable. Which is it? All green? Or delayed green for right lanes. It should not be flipping. IMHO, All green at the same time will clear backups much better.
  • 306 Common Street Watertown, Massachusetts, 02472 - Watertown
    Constituent reported that there are multiple streetlights out on Common St. in front of 306 Common St. that is making it dangerous at night.
  • Main St & Thaxter St Watertown Town, MA, 02472, USA - Watertown
    The previously reported malfunction of the crosswalk light button continues to be an issue. The button to signal the lights works on the side of Main St where the Post Office was, but does not work on the library side. Main St is a very busy street and lots of people cross it, including children and families going to the library. Please address this issue as the previous complaint was made three weeks ago, thank you.

  • 352 School Street Watertown, MA, 02472, USA - Watertown
    The “new stop sign ahead” sign is completely blocked by a different sign and also appears to be at its minimum brightness. I live at the intersection and I constantly see people just drive through the stop sign not even attempting to stop. This happens in both directions but I’ve almost been hit twice from the southbound direction. I have reported this to the police but nothing has changed. Hoping DPW can do something to make it more obvious there’s a new stop sign where kids live and they should STOP at the intersection.
  • Main St Watertown MA 02472, United States - Watertown
    The lights at Galen Street and Mount Auburn going east for both the left turn onto main & the straightahead to Mt. Auburn lanes are all green at the same time This is the third time I’ve been through this intersection with the light all green at the same time and all 3×2 cars have gone from the left turn lane going straight to Mount Auburn leaving three vehicles going in the same direction onto Mount Auburn Street
    could someone please evaluate whether the way these lights are set is safe? It does not appear to be so

    The walk signal at the light between Elan and the Gables does not activate. You press the button and it tells you to wait, so it is acknowledging the push, but the walk signal never activates. I tried this crossing the access driveway both ways and it never turned to walk.
