Description
When you turn into King Philip Rd. in either direction form route 33, it is diffult to see what is ahead. It is dangerous as it is a tiny one-way bridge. My husband cut down some of the brush last weekend and it helped. Can the town do some more cutting? It's dangerous even though people tend to go slowly there. Thanks.

The streets in this neighborhood are private and Public Works is limited on what we can do.
If you would like to discuss this issue further please contact the Department of Public Works at (978)281-9785 to set up an appointment with the Director.

I don't think a meeting will help as this issue has been open for a very long time. I think it would be better if you just emailed me why you aren't doing anything.Is it because the MBTA is supposed to maintain this area?
Having a safe bridge over a fairly busy train track is important for everyone's safety. And prevention is always better than having to deal with an accident. Signs are cheap and easy to put up.

The City is responsible for public road maintenance and care. Occasionally, and when resources allow, minor work can occur on private ways. The responsibility to maintain all private ways, is that of the abutters of the way.
