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.

Road is buckling and the asphalt is cracking in the area where there was a water main break

There are 3 manholes on Amherst Street that have holes around the manhole that need some asphalt filled in. There is one especially, that could cause tire damage.
Thank you very much for checking them out. Dawn

there is an orange wire or rope hanging down from the powerlines. it is NOT a live wire.

From 67 Philip Darch Rd to the corner of duff and Philip Darch Rd it looks like a black out. This is not safe i think a light pole is missing. So I'm not sure who's responsibility it is either yours or Watertown housing authority. Thanks

street light at Burnham and Brigham is flashing/strobing at night

This is the only light in the Loomis Ave and it is out which make it supper unsafe and extremely dark street.

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.
