City of Medford PLUS

Sidewalk has been a sheet of ice for days. it's impossible to pass with pets, kids and for the elderly. A cone isn't going to cut it. This house needs to or the city needs to address the situation. Its unsafe to be forced to walk in the street with oncoming cars speeding by

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.

The updates to Carr Park are great, but we seem to have a drainage or overwatering issue.

Frequent flooding and freezing on the street due to depression of the street and sidewalk.

This is actively getting worse! Over a year ago this was first flagged with no response.

Continued flooding of street during intense rain storms.

several of the drainage basins on Winthrop Street have been Drain basins have been clogged for years, and are causing serious hazards to cyclist pedestrians and automotives. Water floods down the hill during rain storms and causes icing during the cold winter months.

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.

Water seems to be overflowing from a ground cap in the street. Been going on since yesterday. Please address ASAP

Storm Drains are covered in leaves all the way from the hospital uphill that road to at least the 101 bus stop. Would cause tons of flooding during a rainstorm.
