Natick, MA PLUS

Is there a way that the rail trail from Rt 30 to Rt 9 can be opened prior to the completion of the bridge on Rt 9? My company just moved to 1075 Worcester Street, and there is no reasonably safe way to get there by bicycle from the North.

Thanks,

Kim

North Main St is looking good after the new stone walls, sidewalks, curbs, pavement, grass, etc.

But some of the homes are absolute eyesores. Feel free to demolish them while you are at it. Or route this to the building department to enforce code violations. Many front porches look unsafe.

I have to voice my absolute frustration with the electric crews that have been working on the new poles on North Main Street. Twice in the last couple weeks they've parked in our driveway with no warning whatsoever. Today they cut the power to our apartment without any notice. It would have been very nice to have any sort of warning so I could have shut off a bunch of electronic devices. My air conditioner sounded like garbage after being turned off unexpectedly. It seems to be working now but again it would have been nice if somebody would have at least taken the few seconds to warn us. I understand with social distancing that it probably isn't feasible to go door-to-door but it would have been nice to at least have some sort of letter ahead of time telling us that this construction was going on.

While I'm concerned about the safety of some of the events I've seen occur during this project, it's not for me to say. My primary concern is that these workers are not respectful of the fact that people live in the homes beside the worksite. Trash is being left in front lawns, workers have approached windows of homes unnecessarily, and there is nonstop yelling of profanities and chain smoking cigarettes before throwing them into residents' yards. I understand the need to yell over the loud equipment, but the language is beyond inappropriate at times and there are small children living in the homes abutting this work.

This pile of macadam was left in front of our house after the road was paved. Can you remove it please? Thanks.

The Cochituate Rail Project work has regularly started before 7am and are in violation of Article 50, Section 24 of the Town Charter & Bylaws. This includes machinery running as well as shouting by employees. Some people aren’t at construction sites at 5am and need their sleep!

They started building a new fence at was school early winter and started removing chain link fence but never completed project. Holes around fence not filled in, rubbish from chain link only half removed, chain link not fully removed, nice black fence not fully extended

Please remove cone.

Are residents supposed to be notified in advance of road closures? Morse Street has been shut down several times over the past few weeks with zero notice. Today there are at least two different projects, one DPW and one related to a house being built that have completely dug up the road and stranded us residents in our homes.

A company was hired by the town to help with the town gas lines. They did their work late fall/early winter 2018. After they left, there was a lot of garbage in the woods as well as branches/trimmings that they dumped from work on the nearby streets. We would like this to be cleaned up.
