Thank you!!

Thank you for reporting your concern to City of Cambridge via Commonwealth Connect. We have reviewed the information you provided our staff and will be investigating this issue further.

It's not fixed yet, as far as I can tell. There is some police tape that's been put up. I think they've put a board over it, but that area was snow-covered today so I couldn't quite tell.

Definitely not fixed yet.

I’m pretty sure the hole is still under the (what I thought was a) temporary fix.

Yeah, the cones and covering are still there. Now I see a new maybe 7” diameter hole near on of the circular benches—someone could really hurt themselves on this so maybe I’ll do a new ClickFix entry. But that whole area needs work—the (non-wooden) boards stick up and are tripping hazards. There are other areas that have been covered up where it’s obvious there are holes underneath.

Well, I guess this is the permanent fix. The whole little area could use a refurbishing. I couldn't figure out how to attach more than 1 photo, but many of the flooring "boards" are coming up and could be a tripping hazard, there are other holes that have been covered up by what seem like temporary covers. I don't know if this is actually on the High School property or not. It's quite possible that they (or the city) have better things to spend their money on and if that's the case, I guess this issue could be closed by you and I'll reopen it if I see another actual hole someone could fall into.

Oops--that image in my comment above is of the tripping hazard of the edges of the boards coming up. Here's a picture of the covered up hole in my original complaint.

Nothing has changed since they covered up the holes in what really look like temporary fixes (since the coverings stick up and could themselves be a tripping hazard). Also see my notes above about the whole area needing work.
