  • 143-163 Orchard St Watertown Town, MA, 02472, USA - Watertown
    Hello I am wondering if the front lawn of the Lowell School is going to be reseeded for grass. I believe a spray seeding was done in March, but the weather got cold. The grass does not appear to be growing back well. I live on George Street and I know a lot of people like to use the lawn area - from kids playing to people walking dogs - and the fenced off area simply doesn't look like it's growing substantial grass at all even though it's early May and prime season for it. Thank you.
  • Chapman St & Warren St Watertown Town, MA, 02472, USA - Watertown
    Trim off low hanging and dead branches. Branches so low someone’s eye will be poked. People walk under the tree every day
  • 401 Belmont Street Belmont, MA, 02478, USA - Watertown
    Trees have grown to obscure pedestrian crossing lights and need to be pruned.
  • Watertown Square - Watertown
    This request is about the poor construction quality of the accessible curb-cuts around Watertown Square. These curb cuts were recently constructed but substandard materials were used. Already they are rusted and uneven. And this is a problem with all four-given points of this intersection. Please compare with the older rubber based curb cuts near the Armenian Museum further down Main.
  • Bromfield St Watertown, Massachusetts, 02472 - Watertown
    Maybe not the best photo but this entire street is a DISASTER. Extensive amount of potholes & horrible hazardous sidewalks that people drive their cars up onto. Lots of kids walking down this road being that it’s right next to Bemis playground. Road needs to be completely repaved and sidewalks installed.
  • 248 School St Watertown MA 02472, United States - Watertown
    They are not working on this section of Mount Auburn right now.
  • 627 Mt Auburn St Watertown MA 02472, United States - Watertown
    There are also a number of potholes forming on Bigelow Avenue from the intersection of Bigelow and Merrifield Ave up to Bigelow and Mount Auburn Street.
  • 2-24 Main St Watertown Town, MA, 02472, USA - Watertown
    Loose lid and broken pavement on this rectangular manhole directly in front of the Watertown Sq. flagpole. Makes a noise every time a car drives over it.
  • Aldrich Rd & Galen St Watertown Town, MA, 02472, USA - Watertown
    PERMITING AND CONSTRUCTION VIOLATION. Look at the sidewalk you can plainly see the busses must override the sidewalk to make the turn. This is not a 911, or Watertown Non-Emergency category, this is an altogether different matter. Who designed this and who approved this? This doesn’t - can’t possibly meet design standards. The bus travel roads do not meet engineering requirements for safe operation within the bus yard and shared commercial Lab development. On 4/18/2024, I saw on the evening rush hour commute traffic backup to get over the bridge an MBTA bus drove over the curb/sidewalk in order to make a right turn off of Technology Way onto Galen St. Northbound. (Also, the pale blue you use for tje “New request,” and “confirm details,” buttons look like they are non-functional.
