Quincy is in the news again for rat infestation. Please do your part by keeping all trash in completely sealed containers.

Potholes Acknowledged17 Arlington Street Quincy, Massachusetts - QuincyOff of West Squantum St, onto the one way, Arlington St. you'll get to the first stop sign and see the first of a series of pot holes that line the street all the way to the corner of Arlington and Newport Ave. I've included photos of the pot holes that I saw.

Fallen construction fencing Acknowledged127 Newbury Ave Quincy, Massachusetts - QuincyLooks like the temporary fencing fell again and this time narrowly missing the parked car near it.

Left lane for left turn only! AcknowledgedW 4th St Boston, Massachusetts - South EndAt the intersection of West 4th Street (which turns into East Berkeley Street) and Albany Street I constantly witness near accidents and actual accidents where cars in the far left lane continue to drive forward onto East Berkeley Street even though the signs clearly posted indicate left lane for left turn only. Not only is this a hazard for all drivers but pedestrians as well. I can't completely blame the drivers because while it is their fault for missing/ignoring the posted signage, the lane markers on the ground are misleading. The marked lanes make it appear that going straight instead of taking a left turn is allowed.

Fallen construction fencing Acknowledged140 Newbury Ave Quincy, Massachusetts - QuincyThe construction fence at the old soccer field entrance behind North Quincy high school had fallen over. I'm inclined to believe that it was due to the storm earlier in the week. As you can see from the photo that I uploaded it is completely blocking the sidewalk for any pedestrians.

Sidewalk/Street Repair Acknowledged146-158 Arlington St Quincy, Massachusetts - Quincy
There's a drainage issue at the intersection of N. Central Ave and Arlington St. Whenever it rains a large volume of water pools at this corner. During the winter I can see this freezing over and becoming a hazard. The photo uploaded does not fully represent how bad this corner gets.
There is also no handicap ramp at this location so wheelchair bound citizens must travel in the streets or go out of the way by at least a block.

Sidewalk/Street Repair Acknowledged222-262 Newport Ave Quincy, Massachusetts - QuincyThe sidewalk on Newport Ave., between N. Central Ave and Elmwood Ave. Are all damaged from uprooted trees. It doesn't matter as much to me because I don't have mobility issues, but I saw a wheelchair bound man riding dangerously in traffic to avoid the sidewalk.
It also can be hazardous to walk at night due to lack of lighting to expose the areas that are uprooted providing for a major trip hazard. -
Traffic Signal (Lights) Acknowledged35 Common St Quincy, Massachusetts - QuincyAt night the traffic light pattern at common street and centre street takes extremely long to change. So much so that drivers often run the red light thinking that something is malfunctioning rather than wait for the light to change.
While waiting at the light you can see the traffic lights at the intersection of common and Copeland go through at least two full cycles which leads drivers to think that the one at common and centre is malfunctioning. -
Other City Request Archived138 Portland St Boston, Massachusetts - CentralThe parking meter compartment has been left open.

Tree/Landscaping Archived263-267 Hancock St Quincy, Massachusetts - QuincyThere is a public staircase directly across the street from the Applebee's restaurant on Hancock St. The staircase leads down to the MBTA parking lot and is currently overgrown with tall weeds that you have to walk through to use the staircase. In the past it has been maintained, but has been neglected this spring/summer.
