    Noise Archived
    88 Federal St E Portland, Maine, 04101 - Portland
    Loud, constant noise daily in the India Street Neighborhood— sounds like a helicopter or small aircraft circling the peninsula… can be heard with windows closed — what *is* it? How long will it continue?
  • 66 Federal St E Portland, Maine, 04101 - Portland
    Sidewalk hasn’t been shoveled yet this winter. Some spots are now a sheet of ice.
  • India Street Portland, ME, USA - Portland
    R.E. Coleman (and others) have been doing sewer work and paving on India Street for about a month now, and I don’t recall anyone wearing a mask / face covering. Ever.

    Brick sidewalk has collapsed above / into the storm drain, leaving a 18” x 24” jagged hole.

    I don’t believe they’ve shoveled even once this Winter . . .

    56 Federal St Portland, ME, 04101, USA - Portland
    Air BnB guest left their car outside 56-58 Federal overnight *during* the 12/31 Parking Ban - since they weren’t towed, we weren’t plowed ... kindly prioritize snow removal, so we can regain the 2-3 affected parking spots in this very busy mixed-use neighborhood. THANK YOU!

    India St & Middle St Portland, ME, 04101, USA - Portland

    Adding some additional info to Issue ID: 5709812

    Upon approach, it's actually difficult to see the stop sign at the corner of Middle and India -- it hides behind the two utility poles, which sit further out into the travel lane than the stop sign.

    The stop sign is not really adjacent to the travel way - If a box truck, for example, were parked in the space just before the intersection, I doubt one could even see the stop sign.

    Further complicating matters, this intersection only recently became four-way stop -

    Could a flagged 'stop ahead' sign be added to the utility pole in the foreground of my photo? Could "STOP" be painted on the pavement?

    Thank you!

    These are backwards, implying that the entire street is reserved...!

    City service request ID #5066

    Quoting from Issue ID #2272781 , which was "Closed", but has not been addressed:
    "PLEASE Fix the sidewalk,the sidewalk by the WMPG station at the University is a mess. It is a trip hazard and many have fallen there.The University claims it is a City sidewalk. We need someone to fix it. Please put it on your list to take care of this spring/summer season. Thanks!"
    --and--
    "This is a high traffic area. Students, staff, volunteers, and visitors to the University all use this sidewalk to leave and return to the USM parking garage."

    Now imagine it is winter. Or dark.
    Or you have limited mobility. Or a stroller.

    Traffic Light Archived
    222-224 Congress Street Portland, Maine - Portland
    When the light turns green headed up Munjoy Hill on Congress (at Washington), the Left Turn Arrow does not engage unless/until you arrive on the pressure plate at the intersection. Traffic coming down the Hill still has a red light, but it is unclear when approaching the intersection whether it is safe to commit to the left turn until you've come to a stop and triggered the Arrow. Could the Arrow come on with the green lights?
