  • 67 Burnham Street Watertown, Massachusetts, 02472 - Watertown
    street light at Burnham and Brigham is flashing/strobing at night
  • Maplewood St & School St Watertown Town, MA, 02472, USA - Watertown
    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.
  • Kimball Rd & Maplewood St Watertown Town, Massachusetts, 02472 - Watertown

  • 89 Morse St Watertown MA 02472, United States - Watertown
    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 ,,
  • N Beacon St & Beechwood Ave Watertown Town, MA, 02472, USA - Watertown
    Traffic lights were worked on by an outside contractor for several days. It appears that they did not reset the lights/walk signs/audible signals. Both streets do not show a red light at the same time making it extremely difficult to cross. White walk signs and sounds do not appear. All sides show the orange hand. Very dangerous on a very busy street. Near a school.

  • Street Sign RepairAcknowledged
    Watertown St & Galen St Watertown, Massachusetts, 02472 - Watertown
    Street sign right lane says straight only, but you should be able to turn right, per information I was given by the department. Can the sign please be updated so it’s clear to Ubers that they don’t have to go down Nonantum and circle around requiring them to make a left turn in heavy traffic onto Galen when heading to the Pike?
  • 159 Boylston Street Watertown, Massachusetts, 02472 - Watertown

    The plants/shrubs along the planting strips in front of this house have grown again to the point where they are once again blocking visibility when turning from Boylston onto School St. cannot see cars or bikers from this point in a car. Thank you.

    Thank you for looking into this last year.
