there is a large ditch between the street and sidewalk

Due to no curb, we have a constant mud area that stays wet because of the shade and has a bad smell and attracts insects. Despite trying to dig up and dispose of the mud, over time, it keeps happening. Is it possible to get a curb or something installed?The tree roots are also exposed and worry that the health of the tree is impacted.

Last year, the DPW dug up my sidewalk and grass strip to replace the sewer connection. After they finished, they filled the sidewalk with asphalt and the grass strip with gravel and rocks, which they assured me was temporary. I see that many sidewalks and grass strips are currently being repaired, so I would like to verify that my address is on the list. Note that National Grid is making the same type of repair at the level of the gas line to repair the mess they left; however, they said they will not touch the repairs needed related to the sewer line.

Please let me know when I might expect the work to be done.

Next to the sidewalk of 27 fifield street in Watertown there’s an area of dirt that’s been getting deeper and deeper. Especially when it rains it gets muddy and people park here so the hole has been getting deeper.

The loam and seed need to be replenished in the strip between the sidewalk and grass, as they have been washed away by rain, creating a noticeable drop between the sidewalk and the granite curb. Additionally, raising the curb to match the height of the sidewalk could help prevent future washout.

There are no curbs on this section of the street even though their are curbs everywhere else. When it rains heavily, a creek runs down our street and floods this area pushing away dirt and rocks and eroding the side of the road. A curb would fix this problem

Constituent requested replacing the loam & seed on the grass strip across from 61 Poplar Rd. It has eroded and is currently a dirt ditch.

not far from
intersection of Church and Marshall
Street — on Marshall Street, the curb bern is completely washed out…two of them need to be filled with soil
and seeded

I am the owner of 69 Springfield Street. The pavement in front of our house (which runs right up to our lawn) is cracked and crumbling. I'd love to see it replaced with sidewalk and a strip of loam/grass not only in front of our house but up and down Springfield.

Hi all. I called DPW morning. The kids are about to get released from school and there’s broken glass in front of my house from when they picked up the recycling. I picked up what I could, but I can’t do anything with all the little shattered pieces.

BTW The categories you can choose from on 311 are kind of ridiculous. There was no way to just report something in the road. Anyways, thank you.
