PotholesMởConant Rd Watertown, Massachusetts, 02472 - WatertownWe 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.

PotholesMởMile 149.6 Us Hwy 20 W Watertown Town, MA, 02458, USA - Watertown
I am writing to bring to your immediate attention a concern regarding improper drainage on the bike paths on Arsenal and Taylor Streets, which has created a hazardous condition for cyclists and pedestrians. Today I was biking along both of these paths. Along sections of both of these paths, I observed standing water blocking the entire path. This standing water has made portions of the path slippery and unsafe, posing a significant risk of accidents for users including bicyclists. These sections of path would be entirely impassable by a person with a wheelchair and would cause significant danger to any pedestrian in a vulnerable situation, due to the lack of traction.
Given the potential safety risks involved, I urge the city to take the following actions:
• Inspect and repair the drainage system along Watertown bike paths to ensure proper water flow and prevent pooling.
• Consider resurfacing sections with pooling water to angle the path to prevent water pooling after snow and rain
• Install drainage grates along the side of the path where water pools to drain the water
Please consider this notice of the potential hazard. I'm more than happy to provide more details about the hazard if you have any questions. -
PotholesMở11-31 Morse St Watertown Town, MA, 02472, USA - WatertownThis street is in such bad shape and like a minefield of potholes to drive down on a daily basis. We are now specifically taking other streets to avoid this one which is inconvenient, time consuming, and a pain. Now that newton has refinished their portion of this street, the difference is dramatic. Please put this street high on the list of those that need refinishing.
