  • Norwich Cir Medford, Massachusetts, 02155 - Medford

    This is erosion from Norwich Circle, probably from the grass strip on the westbound side of Norwich Circle where it slopes down to Grove Street. There is gully forming where there used to be a grass strip on Norwich Circle.

    Sand, native pebbles, and gravel washing down onto Grove Street. Probably OK to leave it. But it might be better to use the natural sediments to re-fill the gully on the grass strip, i.e. sweep them manually and then transport them by wheelbarrow the short distance.

    The grass strip between the sidewalk and road is perhaps public property. But perhaps the abutter(s) could be encouraged to maintain it.

    Mechanical sweeping has probably missed the sediments on the right side (in the photo). The similar sediments across the street are new.

    I believe I recently saw this exact same issue tersely posted earlier on this site but was unable to find it and it was closed to comments. I wanted to add a photo.

  • 100 Winthrop Street Medford, Massachusetts, 02155 - Medford
    The water drain is located on the raised crosswalk and thus higher than street level. For years, water discharge from the nearby building has frequently run to the street and pooled next to the drain. Unaware pedestrians on the sidewalk get splashed and I've witnessed cyclists wipe out on the resulting black ice during winter.
