Signals out of sync when making left turn off exit 19 from Route 93 on to Centre Street, causing traffic during morning rush hour to back up onto the highway. When signals had been properly timed, this turn took a minute or two - now that they are mis-timed, this turn takes 20+ minutes. PLEASE FIX!

The yard of 15 Hull Street is in terrible condition, and has been for a long time. I understand this is a Section 8 property. Who from the city is allowing this house to ruin the entire neighborhood? Is no one checking in with unannounced visits? Often trash sits along the right side of the house, with no lids, and is not brought out on trash day, bringing animals of all kinds to the neighborhood. The front and back yards are filled with junk (is it normal to leave a tandem stroller outside during the winter and NEVER use it?). What is sad is that I understand from others that the interior is even more deplorable, and there are young children living there. I am concerned for their well being. PLEASE help, and help this week. For the sake of the children.

The street light is actually on Squantum Street (at the intersection of Clement Terrace by the golf course). It is VERY dark along this portion of the street and it has been out for a very long time.

The only visible pole number is this very old one. The light has been flickering on and off, and the last few times I've seen, it has been off or very very dim.

Is it legal or not legal to take a left tun onto Quincy Shore Drive from the middle lane on Sea Street just past the Fox & Hounds? Hundreds of cars do it every morning. Sea Street at that point has a solid painted straight line which means no crossing over
Whats the scoop????

How much longer must we endure this horrible paving patch job? The street was torn up before Thanksgiving and has yet to be repaved. Every heavy rain storm loosens up the pavement. Just imagine what the snow and plows will bring? It's illogical to wait until spring. I expect we'll be re-routed again, as we were during the long weeks of construction before? This has been a nightmare for all of Hough's Neck!

Is it normal in Quincy for hilly residential streets to be plowed with several inches of snow left on the ground?

The attached photo looks downhill on a two-way street. The tread mark on the left side shows a rear-wheel-drive taxi failed to go uphill after moving aside to let an oncoming car pass. The taxi had to roll back downhill at the end.

I called DPW but the man who answered the phone wasn't convinced that there was any problem with the plowing. He insisted that someone must have shoveled snow into the road. To me, it looked like the plow wasn't lowered enough when the plow truck came.

Is this level of "plowedness" normal?

There is a Traffic Signal for pedestrians, however it is only on one side of the dangerous HIGHWAY SPEED intersection (the side opposite Lowe's), and it is shrouded in leaves due to a huge tree enveloping it. We saw a lady just throw herself onto the parkway to cross the street, and she ran as fast as her work pumps allowed. We waited forever, never saw a "walk" signal, and also just said a few Hail Mary's and ran across the street. Obviously this is a problem. We just moved down the street and don't want to be roadkill. I'm sure drivers don't want to have to avoid our carcasses on the road for the following weeks as well. Traffic jam. PLEASE have the city make the walk sign more visible to us lowly pedestrians! Paying to park for a literally 2 minute drive to arrive safely would be absurd.

Street light out by 1042 Sea Street. Right across from church where cars always speed
