Chatham Borough, NJ Neighbor

Multiple Residents habitually parking vehicles over sidewalks impeding the path of pedestrians & forcing pedestrians to walk in the roadway.

Road is crumbling on Hillside, chunks of the surface have come loose.

Electric box has been hanging low with caution tape since July

Hi. Overhead power box is hanging by a thread an needs repair before someone gets hurt.

Already this morning there has been speeding and wreckless driving observes due to road closure and detour directing heavy machinery, trucks and vehicles down quiet kid populated street. Constant police presence and patrol requested

wire in road and driveway - 15-17 Myrtle Ave

the only handicapped parking close to main street is behind main street which isn’t convenient for someone with difficulty walking.

Two stray dogs roaming around Lafayette - Lincoln and Chatham Street area.

A large gate and fence has been built at the side of Fairmount cemetery, blocking pedestrian pass thru. This is an issue for all residents of Hillside, Willow, Chestnut and Maple Street as it blocks the walking route to Washington Ave School. This, along with the locked gate at the Fairmount Ave exit on the top of the cemetery, diverts elementary school students to walk on the much busier Watchung to get to school, in addition to adding a long detour for little legs. Can we please get this gate unlocked for student safety?

A large gate and extension of the existing rock wall has been built at the top of Fairmount cemetery, blocking pedestrian pass thru. This is an issue for all residents of Hillside, Willow, Chestnut and Maple Street as it blocks the walking route to Washington Ave School. This, along with the blockage at Edgehill, diverts elementary school students to walk on the much busier Watchung to get to school, in addition to adding a long detour for little legs. Can we please get this gate unlocked for student safety?

It's Monday night 10/18/21. Trash bags are already out for Thursday pick up.

Pothole in front of 99 N Summit has been growing bigger and spreading broader. It is a serious safety concern, as almost every family on the street has small kids who often ride scooters around the block. Please repair it. Thank you.

Dead deer, to the right at the bottom of the path from Jackson Ave to Kelley's Pond, in the creek partially obstructing the outflow pipe that leads to Kelly's Pond

The flashing train bridge sign across from stanley church on fairmount ave is too far away from the bridge. It should be as close to the bridge as the one on the opposite side of the street near Main St. to ensure drivers can see and match the sign to the bridge.

Very strong and unusual sewer smell has been present over the last few days, particularly at night. Assume it is coming from the sewer line in the woods/path, but has never been this strong or bad before. Seems like something is wrong.

There is a dead deer on/in the Passiac River at the end of the trail from Tallmadge street, it must have died in the storm and is stuck on a log. Now that the waters have receded some its fully exposed and getting pretty bad in terms of smell/rot. Would assume it will be a health issue soon, especially since it is in the water.

The intersection at Weston and N. Passaic is a hazard for pedestrian and drivers. Cars coming from N. Passaic rarely stop for pedestrian. (To make things worse, the only warning light was removed last year.) This place is not safe for drivers either: if they come from Weston, the two fences block the view and the drivers have to really pull forward. I'd suggest to install a FOUR-way stop sign, it would significant improve the safe for both pedestrian and drivers.

There are still many non-local through-traffic at Hedges. The traffic situation has little improvement after installing the speed detector and the stop sign (I really appreciate the effort though): cars drive at 35mph instead of 25 and do not stop at the traffic sign. If nothing works, I'd suggest to town to consider installing *speed bumps* to reduce the traffic volume.
