Not the only potholes on the block, but probably the worst group of them.

Graffiti are on western side of 33 Richdale, one story up, in two places: one near street (per photo), another farther back.. No response to messages left for owners and their agents. Can you encourage them to remove these eyesores?

Walk light-related problem. On the corner by the bagel shop there is a countdown timer showing the number of seconds remaining for pedestrians to safely cross Mass. Ave. To a pedestrian in the crosswalk from the T station to that corner, the units digit is behind a lamppost, and the tens digit is barely visible. Once the count goes below 10, nothing can be seen of the numbers. As a suggestion, extending this display to its left on an offset bracket of some kind, or re-mounting it on the lamppost, would solve the problem.

Streetlight failing, dim at best. Roughly opposiie 129 Raymond St.

Low-hanging tree foliage is in faces of pedestrians on sidewalk. Can city contact owner (9 Cambridge Terrace) and request that tree be trimmed?

Yesterday's rain replenished the big puddle persistently present on the left-hand (south) side of the path, just inside the Cedar St. portal. Water collects here because of a sizable low area (hollow) in the brickwork. Besides being an inconvenience and hazard, puddling tends to last long enough to stagnate (mosquito breeding a possibility). Area needs to be drained, then built up level with adjacent areas.

Report placed here for want of a better category. Actually, the opposite of a pothole: a big bump, hidden among the stripes of the main crosswalk from the Porter T station over to CVS. Unexpected, difficult to see, and easy to trip over. I almost fell down on more than one occasion, and suspect others have too; this is a heavily traveled crosswalk.

Signpost with signs broken off and lying flat on the ground.

Pothole in eastbound travel lane in front of 96-98 Richdale Ave.

I know that crosswalk repainting is carried out in stages. However, as all the other crosswalks in the neighborhood were done some time ago, I want to make sure these last two are not overlooked & can be done before winter: one as marked on map (approx. # 9 Richdale Ave.) and another at #47.

The crosswalks at both ends of "upper" Richdale Ave. (Walden St. & Upland Rd.) were repainted last week, the two crosswalks in between were not, and are in need of being made visible again. Perhaps they need to be put on a master list, or perhaps were simply missed..

Large tree branch broken off, blocking one entire lane of Upland Road.

The abandoned traffic barrel at the corner of B.V. Park & Richdale Ave. (Issue ID: 2580053 ) is still there.

Wandering orange traffic barrel was moved by unknown parties from site where last used and has been left behind. Please pick up. Current location is corner of Richdale Ave. & B. V. Park.

Bricks missing from more than half the sidewalk's width, making passage difficult; can trip passersby. Even-numbered side of street, about 35' from corner.

Precisely at the left turn from Huron Ave. on to Sparks St.

Crosswalk from main sidewalk over to westen portion of Alewife Brook Greenway lacks striping, and there should also be flashing amber lights to warn drivers. Vehicles exiting Route 2 come around blind curve at considerable speed, only yards prior to the crosswalk.
