    Enormous tractor trailers. Continue to use John Street as a cut through. This road, and a left-hand turn onto 129 wasn’t designed for the sort of traffic

    This undeveloped property is abandoned by its owner and many of us in the neighborhood try to keep it cleaned up. Would the town be able to help by removing the piles of asphalt that were dumped there decades ago just off the road? Thank you for considering!

    Hello,

    I need to submit a formal health complaint for 20 Glen Road. There is trash all over the back yard. It is visible from the street since the family does not close their fence. I am shocked that the Town can see this and not allocated more resources. There is a significant a rat problem, and it is no doubt that this home is the source of our issue. It is unacceptable for children to live and play near this home. Rats bring disease. This is a health crisis that we need to call on the health department to partner with public works and potentially social services to provide resources.

    I would like to request a submission of a formal complaint as well as request a health inspection of the premises at 20 Glen Road.

    Please confirm that this can be submitted with the picture attached, or provide next steps for submission.

    Thank you,

    Concerned citizen

    Half of the population uses Safari. When on the laptop - a safari user is unable to submit a SeeClickFix issue with contact info without downloading a portal. Is this necessary? The "Service Request" button needs to be renamed "SeeClickFix." Naming needs to be precise and consistent in order for the website to be inclusive for all ages.

    Please consider cleaning up/adding board walk at end of Henzie st and/or Criterion st to Birch Meadow area. The wooded area can be muddy with lots of tree roots.

    Raccoon has repeatedly been terrorizing our property, family and pets for weeks including during the day. Not deterred by moth balls or ammonia or other conventional methods. Not afraid of humans. Likes to spend hours hanging out in the town drainage pipe at the rear of the neighbors property. Needs to be removed before this animal attacks a human or our dog.

    Any chance we can get the basketball courts cleaned up near majors…… dangerous to play hoops

    My neighbor has failed to maintain his swimming pool for >5 years, and it has become a disgusting cesspool. It has contained standing water all this time and is a breeding pool for mosquitoes. One of the town employees came out to assist last year (she was wonderful to work with), but it doesn't look like anything has been done.

    We have a 7-month old baby who we cannot allow outside because of the abundant mosquitoes--we can barely open the backdoor without several entering. This is a health hazard to us, but more importantly our baby, given the diseases that the mosquitoes carry.

    We simply want this pool disassembled and/or drained.

    One of the rat traps behind the baseball field looks like it was smashed open. Not sure if there is still poison in it but it could harm dogs that frequent that area. Please fix or remove trap.
  • Martin Rd Reading, Massachusetts, 01867 - Reading
    The crosswalks need to be painted. A bus drove right by when there was a mom and her kids in the stroller at one end and me standing on the opposite sign with my dog and he drove right by as well as a car. Also, there is a large branch overhanging almost into the crosswalk at the end of Martin that needs to be trimmed so that the ongoing cars can see the person standing to cross. Thank you.

    Heavy construction equipment drilling and jackhammering for days on end. No sound barriers or anything. Debris falling into other properties. This Is a high residential area. There has to be something done about it. It's ridiculous. The jackhammering from the large machines are hitting decibels upwards of 120. How is that even safe to listen to for days upon days? Myself as well as my family have had headaches every day for 2 weeks because of it. This is unacceptable.

    Staff at the home are disposing of cigarette butts on the strip of grass along the sidewalk. This is becoming unsightly and the constant staff taking smoke breaks makes for a large amount of butts.
