Construction Complaint Открыта27 Willard Street Cambridge, MA, 02138, USA - West CambridgeThere is heavy construction being performed to the rear of 27 Willard St.
This is unrelated to any street construction performed by city contractors - it is on a private lot.
I do not see any recent permits filed on open data. There is a black ford pickup truck in the rear of the house in the driveway between # 25 and 27 when construction is performed. The work often continues late into the evening and weekends beyond the normally allowed construction hours.
Can a building inspector please visit the site to ensure the proper building permits have been filed, changes comply with zoning and work is done within allowed hours and days? -
Construction Complaint ОткрытаCushing St & Huron Ave Cambridge, MA, 02138, USA - CambridgeWith Memorial Day coming shortly, how disgraceful that the Mt. Auburn Veterans Memorial at corner of Huron and Cushing is in such a state of disrepair. This project has been going on since autumn 2023. The memorial is not put back together and is full of construction debris and other trash. Very disrespectful.

11 Brattle Circle Cambridge, MA, 02138, USA - West Cambridge
Pedestrians are currently being rerouted during the Lowell Memorial Park construction to a pedestrian crossing on Mount Auburn St across from Mount Auburn cemetery. This crosswalk has no stop light or sign and no pedestrian flashing light. Yet it is the crosswalk that many school children are being rerouted to. And a crossing guard has not even been out in place. I don’t even like crossing at that crosswalk as an adult as it is very unsafe given car speeds on that section of road. This issue needs to be addressed ASAP before a child gets hit. I have reached out to the DNR email address, but as a MA wide agency, I have little faith in a rapid reply. Thoughts on what can be done here to ensure safety, particularly for our school children crossing in the morning & after school?
Sincerely,
Kris - Cambridge resident

Pothole Открыта2501 Massachusetts Avenue Cambridge, Massachusetts, 02140 - North CambridgeIn the safety cross walk, close to the medium strip on the odd side of the street, a large pothole has opened up. This is a very active cross walk, used by many of the families who attend the day care across the street as well as seniors at Burns apartments on Churchill. Can you fix it before someone breaks an ankle? Thank you very much!

Trees - General Inquiry Закрыта167 Hampshire Street Cambridge, MA, 02139, USA - Wellington-HarringtonHi,
We've noticed an infestation of Japanese Knotweed growing the gravel patch behind 167 Hampshire St. We know that this is a highly invasive species and are not sure how to deal with it since it's roots can get pretty deep and breaking it just causes it to multiply faster. Does the city have any way of dealing with this invasive plant? -
Construction Complaint Признана603 Concord Avenue Cambridge, Massachusetts, 02138 - CambridgeConstruction at 603 Concord has been going on for the past month with no notification/information to tenants. Entryways are not being blocked off or adequately shielded from construction equipment. An attachment is being added to the building which replaces several parking spots including the handicapped spot for the building.
In general there are several unsafe elements in and around the building. The most distressing is the use of the stairwells for storage of construction materials, and the bolting shut from the outside of the only direct exit from the garage.
Construction that has been going on for the past 2 years at the neighboring building has been extremely disruptive and in breach of noise ordinance (outside of hours/on weekends) and they often block access to 603 Concord from Concord Ave and Wheeler St simultaneously. However in the past month, there seems to be a huge increase in the lack of oversight and adherence to safety and city regulations. This morning at 7:15 they were blocking access to the bus stop. -

Other Открыта40 Blakeslee St Cambridge, MA 02138, USA - West Cambridgethere have been rampant cyclists running the drop sign located at the intersection of Appleton and brattle st. I've personally observed cyclists blowing through the stop sign on the bike path daily, with no repercussions, I was nearly t-boned the other day by a cyclist running the drop sign on an electric assist bicycle. this should be addressed by the city. what an idiotic bike lane design. what's the point of the bike lane if the users do not abide by traffic laws? it's at the point where I'm anticipating any cyclists blowing through the signs, and it's dangerous.
