Town of Braintree PLUS

Horrible deteriorated sidewalks of Weston Ave pose great challenges and danger to anyone in a wheelchair or with crutches. They are NOT safe!!!

The condition of the side walk is deplorable making it very difficult if not impossible for children and my handicapped relatives to navigate.

Please fix our sidewalks and pave Weston Ave. The sidewalks are not safe for wheelchairs, strollers and walkers. Also, the South Middle School bus stops on this street twice. Why has Weston Ave been overlooked?

The road and sidewalks on Weston Ave are in horrible condition. The patchwork jobs are unattractive and during the winter the plows kick up chunks of asphalt onto my lawn, which has damaged my lawnmower. I walk to the T sometimes for work and the sidewalks are nonexistent and dangerous (uneven, cracked, holes, etc.). Every street in Braintree has been repaved and has new, safe sidewalks. Why not Weston Ave? This is dangerous for our children, elderly neighbors and anyone in a wheelchair. And, the South Middle School stops twice on Weston Ave. Please come and fix our street and sidewalks. Thank you.

(Reported on behalf of Braintree Commission on Disability) sidewalk on French Ave near back side of MBTA station/employee parking has no curb cut.

No sidewalks

(Reporting on Behalf of Braintree Commission on Disabilities): sidewalk width again narrowed between Marshfield Rd & Lakeview Ave by a combination of 2 telephone poles and overgrown bushes. Also section of Sidewalk is missing in front of 175 Franklin and a hole in sidewalk right before that.

(Reported on behalf of Braintree Commission on Disabilities): missing curb cut: when a wheelchair user gets on the sidewalk at the corner of Washington & Central they cannot get off at Central & JFK memorial drive to continue down central Ave. the closest curb cut is all the way in front of Town Hall. Wheelchair users are forced to roll in the street against traffic here. Resident reports that there are multiple wheelchair users that live on Central Ave. this lack of curb cuts also becomes a problem at events such as the farmers market where people cannot get on/off the sidewalk.

Can a curb cut be added?

On multiple occasions in the evening, around 5-8 pm the crosswalk that runs between the municipal parking lot and Trendy Nails is blocked either on one or both sides from parked cars, sometimes with the car owner sitting in the car refusing to move. On many occasions on the Trendy Nails side it is someone waiting to pick up an employee leaving the salon for the day. We need the presence of Braintree Police here to keep this crosswalk clear on both sides, and if necessary ticket and tow the offending vehicles. Has happened any night but Friday nights seem the worst.

(Reported on Behalf of Braintree Commission on Disabilities): significant sidewalk deterioration on sidewalk opposite 292 Franklin.

Vehicles parked on sidewalk making it inaccessible for those with mobility issues
