Town of Needham PIU

The front board in the seat of this bench at Perry Park is about to break in half. Needs to be replaced for safety

Walking on May St beginning at Garden St and walking toward Nehoiden St and then turning right on Nehoiden St, vegetation is overgrown and needs to be cut back. Trees and weeds growing on both sides of the sidewalk are overgrown. This is a heavily traveled sidewalk and needs to be kept clear.

The area between the bottom of Marshall St and the top of Brentwood Circle, on both sides of the cement stairs, needs mowing. It has not been done this spring yet. Could you add this to the Parks list to be done before the 4th of July?

Thanks,

The nets are not up yet and also cracks growing grass need repair. Thanks!

If you walk in the street, you will likely be hit by a car. If you walk on the sidewalk you will get Lyme disease. Needham does not maintain its sidewalks. This one has overgrown weeds in the berm and on the other side of the sidewalk. Ticks can easily jump on people walking by. If Needham really does want to encourage walking into town and shopping in Needham, the town would cut back all of this overgrown vegetation. This is not the first time this has been reported. Obviously Needham employees are too busy eating doughnuts to care about the people who pay the high property taxes in this town. Shame on DPW for its neglect.

Temporary road plates for current construction are extremely loud and disruptive. Every time a larger car passes, our house shakes. Sounds like an ongoing thunderstorm. Please fix.

Needham DPW refuses to trim overgrown weeds and trees encroaching on the May St sidewalk between the MBTA tracks and Nehoiden St. Why Needham DPW takes no responsibility is a mystery. Beware. Needham town government does not care about your safety. This is a disgrace!

Person that lives on Sachem with the corner house does not take care of his Utica road property in the side of the house.
Please trim and cut as much as possible so the stop sign remain visual throughout the summer.
I have seen many cars go fast lately because of this.
Please feel free to leave a note in this persons mailbox telling them that they could get a fine if not taking care of the side of there home which is on a street akd affecting the stop sign (not to mention how much trash I have picked up there as well) which might result in this home owner actually taking care of this side of his property

Thank you!

The metal is coming through the seat. Can someone come check on the baby swings?

Recently noticed this pole on the corner of Jarvis and central looks to be way more crooked then before. Can someone come check it out? Additionally a tree on the street looks to be slanted as well so wondering if it’s a foundation issue on the block.

Email from resident -

I started playing tennis at the Newman School with the women’s spring tennis league this year. During matches & practices several people commented on the poison ivy growing through the fence & on to the court.
It’s impossible to avoid the balls rolling into it. Yesterday I played there & I now have poison ivy on my hands. Is there anything that can be done to remove it? I really enjoy the program but don’t want to continue to be exposed to poison ivy.
