  • 27 Willard Street Cambridge, MA, 02138, USA - West Cambridge
    There 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?
  • Cushing St & Huron Ave Cambridge, MA, 02138, USA - Cambridge
    With 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.

    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
    45 Fresh Pond Pkwy, Cambridge, MA 02138

    Parks info:
    Lowell Memorial Park (located at Coolidge Avenue and Mount Auburn) is currently undergoing a redesign. For the duration of the construction, please use the pedestrian path on Mount Auburn Street towards Brattle Street.

  • Pothole Acknowledged
    2501 Massachusetts Avenue Cambridge, Massachusetts, 02140 - North Cambridge
    In 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!
  • 167 Hampshire Street Cambridge, MA, 02139, USA - Wellington-Harrington
    Hi,
    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?

  • 603 Concord Avenue Cambridge, Massachusetts, 02138 - Cambridge
    Construction 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.
