old fire hydrant flushing sign at Franklin

Dear Waltham, the High/Cherry St intersection is very bad for walking(and driving). the mouth of Cherry is so wide and meets High St at a funny angle. We enjoy crossing over to the cemetery, but there is no crosswalk. Is there any chance for improvement here? It looks like you are about the pave High St. Is there any improvements possible? Even paint at the intersection? Thanks.

smell of gas at this location, seems new.

Dear Waltham, my family and I use the Cherry St / Hamblin/ High St intersection often. it is very wide and hard to cross safely. We often walk into the Cemetery at the bus stop location, but there is no crosswalk. This cuts off a convenient family route to get to the river. There is a crosswalk further to the east, but it is less direct, has no curb cuts and is frequently blocked by liquor store parking.

Are there any plans to improve this big intersection to make it more pedestrian friendly? Is Newton involved as well (is it on the Newton or Waltham side of the line)?

Thanks so much.

looks like slow water source of some kind

pedestrian crosswalk signs missing in both directions at main Franklin Elementary School crosswalk.

crosswalk across Pershing at Derby should be painted. Next to Franklin Elem.

two loud backpack gas powered leaf blowers in use for more than 15 minutes midday today.

postal relay box blocking sidewalk, reduces visibility for kids crossing street.

the patches made on Cherry St after the water main work was done have all sunken, making a already bumpy road bumpier. should contractor repatch?
