| Brookline, MA | open | Sidewalk Obstruction/Repair | On garbage day pickup (Wednesday mornings) create congested sidewalks and a safety risk for 100+ BHS students walking back and forth from Old Lincoln School & BHS.
Students spill to street (& especially dangerous when the traffic is behind them).
Snow will create similar and more regular safety hardship for the large number of students walking this route.
Some solution ideas:
Getting earliest possible garbage & recycle pickup on Davis Ave between Greenough & White Place & White Place overpass to Rt 9 (the student route to Old Lincoln School).
Town to move bins asap on the student route
Priority earliest possible sidewalk snow removal on student route
Add a crossing guards along for safety supervision
When students are in a crowd on the sidewalks, they are often distracted and spontaneous - one student jumped up on an electric pole and landed on Davis Ave - I braked just in time.
It would be awful for a student to get injured. |  | 10 days ago |

| Brookline, MA | open | Damaged Sign | I've been reporting this to the MBTA for weeks but have realized this problem is likely under Town jurisdiction. There are two Handicap parking spaces at the Brookline Hills Station that are occupied every day by non Handicap vehicles, because the sign and pavement markings are illegible. Because occupants of those spaces don't pay, they are extra desirable. Last week the spaces began to be occupied by the private vehicles of MBTA and other workers associated with the BHS building project. One worker I spoke to assured me that the parking area would shift west within two weeks, and be ready to use at that point. I'm concerned that this lack of handicap space availability, which has gone on several weeks already, will continue for at least another few weeks, especially if new signage isn't installed right away. As you can see from the photo, workers will be tempted to park anywhere they can, draping their fluorescent vests to indicate "don't ticket," so please check for compliance. |  | 14 days ago |
