The contractors who cleared the sidewalk at 11 Walnut came straight through the traffic calming garden , not just destroying the garden , but blocking and piling snow in the handicap ramp - see second picture - I’m concerned about when they do snow removal ; because to the left of the crosswalk ( second picture) is curbing , a garden with three large rocks - if they take the snow mounds out with a loader they could push or grab the rocks and curbing .
Please take caution , I’m sure they’ll be complaints that the handicap ramp is completely blocked as the rest of upland walkway is clear . Thank you for your attention in this matter

This may be an issue for DCR - is it possible for an officer to be posted at Mt Auburn and route 16 during evening rush hour ? The cars coming off Memorial dr and heading west onto Mt Auburn st fly through the red light at least ten cars deep - I’m sitting at my red light heading SE Towards Storrow dr and it turns green and they are still coming through the light blocking our entire intersection making it impossible to move at our green light - some is one should monitor it perhaps to get the message across
Thank you

I have adopted this island(bump out) through the program created by the city - It has a dedication sign in honor of my parents and I take special care to make it nice. - the city started everyone one of these bump outs with a beginner schematic. Since then, I have added my own bulbs and various plants at my own expense - over the course of the last seven or eight years , things have been taken out. - I have caught the owner of 115 Upland road doing just that, and have addressed her and so has my sister, and the city's landscape architect who has run the program - she has stolen echinacea, my narcissus jonquils , muscari bulbs, allium bulbs a rose shrub - has cut into my miscanthus and even tried to take a giant rock - I caught her there with a wagon /dolly of sorts. I have asked her to put back the bulbs she has taken and she left them there in a pile . some have ended up on her island on upland and Washington and some I see on her property - I know I cant prove it, but I did see her digging them out of my garden ! two years ago I replenished all the echinacea , that were all dug up - I put 17 new plants - this spring I had maybe eight left. the ones I had left were being cut for personal selfish reasons. I am really at the end of my patience and the city landscape architect gave me signs to request to "keep out of the garden " that are around the city landscaped areas > well this fall when I did my pruning and cleanup, I came back to discover the signs have been stolen. this woman has been told by me, other members of my family, the city landscape architect ( who she claims to be working for ) ((bold faced lie ))- to stay away from this garden and only tend to her own Ive even spoken to her husband , who I have caught digging in there. they have no good reason to disturb my area , and claim they are taking care of neglected gardens . THEY ARE STEALING plain and simple. I posed the question to the husband- why not care for the opposite corner at walnut and upland that has no one, it is overrun and needs a lot of work - instead they invade my well maintained well manicured island like its their job . Please help me keep them in their assigned spot. I am very upset they feel entitled to just take things that don't belong to them, whether put there by the city or at my own expense . I know for a fact at the beginning of this project she was very upset her island did not have any rose bushes , and let people know, then , mysteriously one rose bush was missing from my island and one was in the island that originally had none -Im very angry about this whole matter - please help!

I saw an Asian longhorn beetle between 55 and 57 Granville rd on Saturday around 1:30 PM I did not get a picture because he flew away
