The people who live at this house have a Jack Russell terrier that barks a lot, as terriers can do. I see they have put a barking collar on the dog that either shocks the dog orsprays thee dog when it barks.The owners yoftensit withet the doondo the sideporchwhere the dog can lookskingthrough trailings ncee Riverside Avenue where there's lots of things to bark atnreet trafficy.Weu can hear the dog barking once or twice than squealing as if in pain.We've walked by and seen t (barks followed by squeals)his firsthand This does not seem a humane or effective way tteach a a dog bark lessork. Can animal control please check on this animal?

There’s a dead rabbit against the curb (in the street) in between 192 and 194 Riverside Ave. Right in front of the green mailbox. Thanks.

These folks on the corner never, ever clear the Central Ave part of the sidewalk. I just slipped and fell on some ice on the Central Ave section of the sidewalk. Ice was under a thin puddle of melting water so it was impossible to see. I am hurt!!

There are dog feces all over Magoun Park. It’s disgusting. I stopped walking my own dog there because every visit, I’d step in feces if we walked on any grassy area. It probably doesn’t help that the Mutt Mitt dispensers have been empty for months, and that this sign about picking up after your dog is at least 12’ up the pole. It’s really sad because when the park was closed for COVID, the DPW cleaned it up very nicely. Can at least the mutt mitts be refilled? Maybe that’ll prompt some people to pick up. This park is heavily used by kids and it’s really disgusting.

Neither crosswalk signal here works to activate the pedestrian walk signal.

There is a dead rabbit in the road, near the curb, between #30 and #38 Park Street. Thanks.

Pretty much the entire length of Washington Street between Spring Street and Park Street is unshoveled on the odd-numbered side. Most of these are houses on double lots and they do not shovel the rear sidewalks of their property. This route is heavily used by kids walking to school and you’re forced to walk in the street because of the unshoveled sidewalks. This is a problem every single winter. Please address with these property owners.

Neither of the city sidewalks abutting Logan Park have been shoveled at all yet. They are, as of today, long stretches of ice. Please have the city clear them.

In this picture, I am in the left turn lane at the intersection of South Street and Main Street. I am at the stop line. You can see to the left that the height of the weeds totally blocks the sight line onto Main Street. Please trim these weeds as soon as possible at this very dangerous intersection. Thank you

The owner of the building block at the corner of Spring Street and Washington Street has still not trimmed back the weeds and Japanese knotweed that is encroaching the sidewalk. It’s almost impossible to walk on the sidewalk. This issue has been open for a very long time. Some of the neighbors who abut have cut back on the weeds, but the property owner on the corner has not.

This request is not specific to the address listed but pertains to all of Riverside Avenue.

I recently submitted a request for traffic speed indicators (reading "your speed" and indicating the 25 mph speed limit) along Riverside Avenue in an attempt to cut down on the speeding of cars and trucks, which makes walking and bicycling along Riverside Avenue very unsafe.

The police sergeant replied to my previous request noting there are no places along Riverside Ave. where a traffic speed indicator could be placed, because there are no shoulders to the street.

However, I noticed that West Medford has at least two utility pole mounted traffic speed indicators. Since there are lots of utility poles on Riverside Avenue, perhaps we can get at least two (one facing east, one facing west) here.

I have given up on requests to enforce "no trucking" on Riverside Ave as I understand that's very difficult for the police to do and they have other priorities. It's unfortunate as they are the worst speeding offenders.

There is constant speeding down Riverside Avenue by cars and trucks at all times of the day. Since there's no shoulder on Riverside, this makes bicycling and even walking down Riverside terrifying, as trucks barrel by at high speeds. Can we get one of those signs that indicate a vehicle's speed and reiterates the 25mph speed limit, as a traffic calming measure? Alternatively, some speed limit enforcement by Medford PD? Thank you.

The “neighbors“ who shot off fireworks in Magoun Park on the Fourth of July left a huge amount of debris all over the basketball court. Nice of them to do that on a long weekend, so kids can’t play on the basketball court. Really infuriating.

Overgrown foliage needs its annual cutting back between Sheridan St and Spring St. (the foliage is growing on several private properties). Overgrown foliage forces people to walk in the street.

Low and broken branches on city tree (located on sidewalk strip) need cutting back — impeding pedestrians.

While very few people actually stop at the westbound facing stop sign on Washington Street, no one stops at the eastbound facing stop sign on Washington Street. This intersection is very poorly marked, there is one faded pedestrian crosswalk and no stop lines. Lots of kids and commuters walk here in the morning, including me, to get to buses on Salem Street. How about some actual painted on the street crosswalks, a pedestrian activated crosswalk signal, and then you can probably get rid of the stop signs all together. They don’t seem to work anyway.

Please consider re-timing the lights at the intersection of Clippership Drive and Riverside Avenue during morning rush hour. Every morning there is a westbound line of at least 30 cars waiting to go through that intersection. There are very few cars coming around Clippership Drive. A very cursory inspection by the traffic department would confirm this. This line of traffic is one of the things that makes it very dangerous to bike on Riverside Avenue, which I often do. The traffic move so slowly that people get enraged and sometimes even try to go around other cars.

There is broken glass on the north sidewalk under 93. It's a hazard to pedestrians and bicyclists.
