I know this is MassDOT's problem, but please relay this to them The porta potty is blocking visibility to safely exit the highway

The river under Elm St. is flowing above ground The ground beneath is appears to be buckling, possibly forming a sink hole?

Multiple snow piles on sidewalks all down Elm street from academy to high street Many children walk to school and back home from Reingold They are forced to walk in road

There is a pothole in the parking lot for the disc golf course that is getting bigger

It doesn't need asphalt filler, it needs the crusher run base If you leave a pile in the corner of the parking lot, I can fill it Wouldn't hurt to have some extra material here for the spring time

Elm street shouldn't be a dump

On sidewalk of elm st Children and families walking are forced to walk on road Very unsafe when combined with people speeding around the area

There has been an ongoing traffic light bug happening for at least 2 years It's annoying and reflects poorly on the DPW leadership at addressing the problem

At night, the magnetometers on John Fitch Highway, on the southbound side, appear to not work

When you're in the left lane, whether you want to go straight or turn left, the light will cycle to a left turn green arrow When you're in the right lane, the light will cycle to a full green for the northbound side, but the southbound side will stay red

There is no way that the DPW doesn't know of the problem. They are either willfully ignoring it, or don't have the required brain power to troubleshoot it. Perhaps during the day, maybe the lights are on a timer and the individuals responsible for addressing this ongoing issue never actually re create the problem I can't wrap my head around why the issue isn't fixed, or at least addressed by using the appropriate light up signage to alert drivers of the failures of the management at the DPW

Corner of high and mechanic Another pothole There are 2

Corner of high and mechanic A dumb pothole

Pothole in middle of road

Children are slipping and falling on ice on sidewalks They are being forced to walk on the street when they walk to school

The snowbank pictured is just one instance The entire street has these snow banks, and the sidewalks on the whole street are covered in ice and snow
