Trees - General Inquiry Archived222 Norfolk Street Cambridge, Massachusetts, 02139 - The PortI would love to water the Japanese lilac across the street, but the "soil" is like cement and the water just runs off into the street. I tried softening the soil with a trowel, but it's REALLY like cement - you need a pick! Can you install a watering tube AND one of those watering bags?

Rodent Sighting Archived216 Norfolk St Cambridge, MA, 02139, USA - The PortThis morning I saw TWO GIANT RATS scurry down the large burrow in this photo on the north side of 216 Norfolk Street.

Botanical Obstruction Archived293 Broadway Cambridge, MA, 02139, USA - The PortThis is on the Norfolk Street side of this corner house. Leaves are covering sidewalk AGAIN.

Can you please have them clean the sidewalk and tell them that they need to keep their sidewalk clear of leaves, debris, snow, ice...? Thank you.

161 Norfolk St Cambridge, MA, 02139, USA - The PortCONSTANT blocking the sidewalk and bike lane at the Senne construction site. I walk by this twice a day, and it's either blocked by trucks, unloading, deliveries, pallets, lumber, dumpsters, construction equipment, and just about anything else related to the construction. This site has plenty of yard space - they just seem to use the sidewalk as their staging area. This truck in the photo could have backed up 4 feet, but didn't seem to care about blocking the sidewalk.

283 Norfolk Street Cambridge, Massachusetts - Wellington-HarringtonThis past Saturday, DPW trucks were AGAIN parked in a way that made it incredibly difficult for more than one car at a time to access the Recycling Drop-Off Center. This has been noted here before, and I know that others have complained. Yes, the yard is small, and yes, DPW needs access to their vehicles, BUT DPW needs to stop making it so hard to get to the recycling area. PLEASE -- more yard/vehicle management is needed!

Construction Complaint Archived59 Norfolk Street Cambridge, Massachusetts - The PortThe crew working at 55-59 Norfolk Street has been blocking the sidewalk continually without any provision for pedestrians. Isn't there supposed to be a way for pedestrians to get around blocked sidewalks?

Sidewalk Defect Archived253 Norfolk St Cambridge, Massachusetts - The PortThe sidewalk next to a large tree has buckled and is now at a steep angle (which doesn't really show in this photo). I walk with a cane, and I have to walk in the street (in traffic) to get around this, as do people pushing carriages. Maybe it can be fixed with blacktop temporarily? Thanks.

161 Norfolk Street Cambridge, Massachusetts - The PortThis was originally reported on 3/27/2018. (Numerous times, DPW has tried to close this report, however the problem still exists. See: https://seeclickfix.com/issues/4275734 ). The turf is being continually destroyed by DPW trucks driving over the park's surface, leaving deep ruts. Although it was leveled and reseeded, AGAIN DPW trucks have destroyed it (see photo). The solution, after repairing it again, is to please instruct DPW staff to stop driving trucks over this park's turf and to STAY ON THE PAVED SURFACE AND STAY OFF THE GRASS!

Other ArchivedParking Lot #5 Cambridge, Massachusetts - The PortOversalting = Dead Trees
Many people have complained about the ridiculous amount of oversalting in the municipal parking lot at the corner of Norfolk and Bishop Allen. The salt has now killed almost all the trees, with just one or two still alive. I'm not sure why DPW staff isn't more aware that oversalting kills trees, but all these trees should be replaced ASAP with salt-tolerant species. -
