    Central Square is so much nicer now that Carl Barron Plaza has been temporarily removed. Please keep it like this.

    The changes to the Memorial Drive/DeWolfe light when the contraflow bike lane went in have created a perpetual major jam on DeWolfe that didn’t use to exist. Even outside rush hour, the backup often extends past Mt Auburn.

    This project was intended to help bicyclists. But it actually made things worse. Gridlocked vehicles heading for DeWolfe regularly block the bike lane on Mt Auburn. And southbound bicyclists on DeWolfe now have to endure the car jam, with no easy way to get past it since the general lane was narrowed.

    Please re-evaluate this failed design. The quickest fix would be working with the DCR to change the Mem Drive light to provide a concurrent green for bikes and pedestrians.

    A longer term solution would be to remove the contraflow lane and make Plympton the northbound bike route.

    The Inman Square redesign left the sidewalks in the main part of the square way too narrow!

    Whilst a sidewalk this narrow might meet the bare minimum requirements under the law, it’s inappropriate for a busy square.

    If it has to remain like this, at least put a walkable surface in the tree wells, like that rubber stuff or a metal grate.

    Yard waste out for pickup. Wasn’t picked up last week. Thanks!
  • Huron Ave & Royal Ave Cambridge, MA, 02138, USA - West Cambridge
    For decades there was a pole and 2 signs (no parking (with an arrow pointing to the corner) and 1 hour non resident parking (with an arrow pointing to the driveway in front of the tar). Now cars park very close to the corner; it’s dangerous if you’re coming from 2 way narrow Royal Ave. and want to turn either way. Thank you
  • Huron Ave & Royal Ave Cambridge, MA, 02138, USA - West Cambridge
    For many years there was a pole and 2 signs on the corner of Huron ave and Royal Ave. one sign said no parking with an arrow (here to corner); the other said 1 hour non resident parking 8…. A water main break required digging up the concrete (black tar). Pole and signs disappeared. Now cars park close to corner; Royal is narrow and a 2 way street; it’s dangerous coming from Royal and turning in either direction. Thank you.

    Our recycling was not picked up on Friday, 3/22. We called to report it and were told to call on Monday at 9am. We called this morning and were told to put it out. By 5:00pm on Monday, it had still not been collected.

    This is the second day in a row we have taken the bin in and out and it has not been picked up. What do we need to do to get a pick-up before Friday?
