Wollaston t station platform tripping hazard

I am not Carnac the Magnificent nor do I play him on TV, but I predict delinquents to pitch various and sundry items over the glass wall that is only a little taller than handrail height on unsuspecting T commuters using that entrance. Seriously, do architects ever consider how their designs will be used in “Real Life”? Did the MBTA (read: taxpayers pay for this)?

Poor drainage at entrance to Big Y parking lot. Customers have to walk through several inches of water to pass through. Can we get a permanent solution? Please.

Broken glass near Wollaston child care

Is it Ground Hog Day? It seems as though every winter I need to bring this problem to someone's attention. This pedestrian path leading to the Hannaford shopping plaza is a complete hazard to the seniors and disabled who live in the area and who walk to the Hannaford for their groceries. As you can see from this night time (7 pm) photo, the lighting is not very good either. There is a large body of ice water in front of the entrance way that will soon be a block of ice that will become even more hazardous. At least someone has broken some of the fencing so you can duck into the shopping plaza and avoid the icy water. There must be a permanent solution to this problem. Who owns this parcel now that Body and Craft sold out to Rockland Trust?

Not working correctly

The traffic walk signal pole was knocked out of action a couple of weeks ago but we are still waiting for a replacement walk signal pole to be installed. There is no walk signal button on that side of the street -- the traffic pole located near Wollaston Wine & Spirits does not have a walk signal button because there is no crosswalk there. Beale Street is very busy with cars bombing down from Newport Ave. and drivers not paying attention to pedestrians.

Would it be possible for the DPW to remove snow surrounding traffic signal poles so that pedestrians can get a walk signal in order to safely cross Hancock St.? Specifically the crossing signals near Hannaford Supermarket and the North Quincy Post Office? Drivers don't pay attention to the fact that pedestrians are not able to access the signal button.

so please provide us with a clear sidewalk and path. This is the walking route for many mobile seniors in the area including Fenno House. You also need to be mindful of the ice melting from the roof line onto the sidewalk below, the sidewalk will become dangerously icy, at least put up warning signs.

Please explain why pedestrians aren't able to have a walk signal in order to cross both roadways separating us from Charles Street and the Charles/MGH subway station? Right now we have to wait on the island for the light to change for the 2nd walk signal. As a result I observe numerous pedestrians too impatient to wait crossing the street even when traffic is bearing down on them. I can imagine the level of impatience grows as the weather turns inclement which is not a safe situation. Please program the lights so that all traffic stops for pedestrians to safely cross the streets.

The walk signal request button is not working, it is the one located on the corner of Willet and Hancock St. near the plumber and Leonardo's. It has not been working for a few weeks now.

to those of us who want to walk down Weston Ave safely using the sidewalks that border their property. The lack of snow removal forces us to walk in the street which is not safe in the evening. Also they need to remember to clear the sidewalk adjoining both their property and the entrance to Wollaston Child Care. No one can safely walk on that section of sidewalk in its current state of solid ice. Thank you!!

There are so many Hannaford and Rite Aid customers who use this entrance but the sidewalks and walking path are poorly cleared. Please see photos.
