Rogers Street side of the old hospital: Unsafe walking conditions on sidewalk due to lack of snow and ice removal

Stormwater grates on either side of Winslow Farm Drive near the intersection with Winslow Road were covered and fastened with sisal-like mats at the beginning of work on the Winslow Rd. section of the pedestrian/biker pathway in mid-spring. As a result, that part of Winslow Road has flooded with every heavy rain, and the grates are now heavily clogged. Early on, I contacted the Street Department about this, but was told that the City had nothing to do with the project, which was slated to finish in October (!) Now it is October, and the pathway crews have finished and cleaned up. But still no one has removed those sisal covers on the two stormwater grates. I'm not sure what department should handle this, but I'd really like to see the problem resolved. Why the grates have had to be covered all these months is a mystery to me.
There has been End Contruction signs at the entrance to Winslow Farms for a year. The project was completed last year. I wrote earlier this year and nothing was done. There are no construction signs on E Winslow Road. Can you get the ugly signs out of our neighborhood please.
I wrote you 4/13/21 case number 175422 and have received no action or contact since. I have written in about this 2 other times over a year. See below. There are end constructions signs all over the area from a project that was completed a year ago. I see them at the entrance to Winlsow Farm Drive, and at apartment houses on Henderson St and other locations. Some one has dropped the ball for a year. Please get the signs removed, they are unsightly. At this point if there is not actions soon, I'll resort to contacting the Mayors office and the newspaper. For the life of me I cant understand that there was not a schedule to pick up the signs.
Bamboo everywhere in the corner of 10th street and summit street

I'm not sure if this is the proper way to report this, but there is a very dangerous crosswalk where I've almost been hit multiple times and I have seen the same thing with other pedestrians. The problem is when crossing from the NE corner of 10th and Walnut to the NW corner. The problems result from the fact that 1) the crosswalk is obscured from view for drivers on 10th coming from the East and 2) the stop line for those drivers is back from the intersection to allow for trucking turning E on 10th from Walnut. The result is that pedestrians start to cross on the walk signal but the drivers turning right from 10th have a bit of speed by the time they can even see anyone in the crosswalk and frequently can't stop in time when they come upon a walker. The only real safe way to navigate that crosswalk as a pedestrian is to just not use the actual crosswalk (eg. stay way to the left almost in the lane of traffic so you are even seen). If you try crossing there at 5pm any day of the week, you will immediately see what I'm talking about. ;) I'm not sure what the solution is but I just know it is very dangerous. At a bare minimum, I would suggest removing the bush at the NE corner to increase visibility but even then the layout of that corner is dangerous so perhaps someone can take a look and see if anything can be done? Thanks! --Rob
there have been "end contruction" signs left here for 6 months , construction is long over, can the signs be removed please
The boulder that was installed at the corner of South Fess Avenue and the alley behind Bloomingfoods/The Elm has been moved into the sidewalk.
There is construction going on behind me, on the corner of Miller Drive and S. Henderson. Last week and again today there are awful vibrations coming from that site. These vibrations literally make me sick. This is a deep low vibration and it comes from a piece of equipment that looks like a steam roller. The driver goes back and forth and back and forth over the property pretty much constantly. I'm wondering how much longer this is going to be going on. There is occasionally a break from it but it's mostly steady all day. I actually have to leave my house when it starts up (early in the morning) and stay away all day. I hope someone can advise me how much longer this is going to be going on.
