There is an insufficient amount of lighting on Hammond Street between the Chestnut Hill train stop and Route 9. This poses a problem when it rains, as the sidewalk is uneven and full of holes at places on both sides of the street, and this problem is exacerbated in the winter when ice and heavy snow make the sidewalks even more dangerous to walk on in the dark. I have seen people slip at night because they couldn't see the sidewalk properly. Most importantly, as a young woman, I feel in danger walking home alone on this street in the dark, because I have been approached by strange men who I can barely see, and I have felt like I was being followed a few times. I propose that at least 3 more streetlights be added to this section of Hammond Street.

ID markers COMM/ 1555. COMM/ 1575. COMM/1585. COMM/1611. Street lights with these labels have been out of order for at least one year.

Hi- Is it possible to install a street light on Hilltop Street, between 45 Hilltop and corner of East Side Pkwy (on same side of street as 45 Hilltop?) It is quite dark to that corner, worse in the winter.

Thank you for your consideration.

Green light flickered and died at intersection at Hammond st and comm ave

Altho' it wasn't so great before trying to make a left from Walnut Street north onto Comm Ave., now with the left lane ONLY being for left turns, all traffic has to flow in the right lane. This backs up terrible and causes problems for people dropping books off in the niche lane for the library..they can't move until that traffic clears. Last week I had to wait two light cycles to get out of the library parking lot to go east on Walnut St....too many cars, too many people pulling in/out of the library lane. At least with the left lane being used for straight as well as left, the traffic moved--you just had to watch for some idiot trying to pass you on the right instead of turning left.
