Ditto Tremont. Can we make these streets off limits to trucks (except deliveries)? Can we keep these residential streets from becoming thoroughfares for people wanting to avoid major arteries? Can we work with Waze/Google to ask them not to route cars and trucks onto narrow residential streets?

Same issue on Tremont St. Making the small one-way residential streets off limits to trucks would be a big improvement. Royal Hospitality in particular is the biggest source of constant heavy truck traffic in this area.

Also on Elm St. The city planted our linden tree a few years ago, but it has broken branches hanging off it all the time from the big trucks speeding by.

Cars also routinely speed on Elm. People like to cut across from Hampshire to Cambridge and avoid Columbia. A raised crosswalk at Lincoln St would at least shorten their runway. It's unbelievable how fast they go what with all the kids and bikes and close-parked cars.

Other city blocks have raised crosswalks. E.g., Columbia at Lincoln, not to mention Tremont at Carlisle just a couple blocks away. I don't see why those blocks should receive this kind of service while we don't. It is very frustrating.

Tremont at Carlisle does not have a raised crosswalk. It could use one though.

On Elm Street frequent speeding trucks. Also limb damage to trees. A truck nearly took out my teenaged daughter on street this year.

Erin you're right, I'm thinking of Tremont and Gardner, on the other side of Hampshire. I noticed when they put it in roughly the same time as the one on Columbia went in and was thinking what a great idea, we'll get one soon ourselves on Elm and other places. No such luck I guess.

The Royal Laundry trucks that SPEED down both Tremont and up Elm are a HUGE hazard. They are going to severely hurt or kill someone. I have video on the front door of my house that sees them all day and night long.

I reported on the same issue in March 2016 and nothing happened... And talking to the elders on our street, they say that this has been their complaint going back now in 30 to 40 years, and the city never did anything... Maybe this is the year for the city to pay attention to our Elm Street?

What needs to be done to add these requests to the city's 5-year plan? A raised cross-walk at Tremont-Carlisle and Elm-Lincoln intersections are good ideas that will improve safety. Can the city officials here forward these requests to the right person?

Ditto these comments. Especially with how many potholes there are, these trucks shake and rattle our apartments as they speed past. I have to pause phone calls because the people I'm talking to can't hear me over the trucks passing outside. Besides Royal Hospitality, the Phil's Towing trucks are in very poor condition and make a ridiculous racket going down the street.

Thankyou for your messages. Elm Street from Hampshire Street to the City line was added to the DPW’s 5 Year Sidewalk and Street Reconstruction Plan. We will be organizing a community meeting late summer/early fall 2019 to hear the residents’ concerns. We will schedule a second community meeting before the end of 2019/beginning 2020 to present and discuss possible alternatives to address the concerns. DPW staff will flyer the street as soon as we have a date for the first community meeting. Thank you again.

Thank you so much for the great news! I’ve let several of our neighbors know...we appreciate the prompt response and will see you at the community meeting!

Thanks for fixing this request!
