As I was being harassed by a motorist as I biked down Webster St. in front of the park, I wondered why this road has signage for a 30mph speed limit. There is a park there, often lots of children, why not the city wide 25mph?

Sidewalk not cleared. Pedestrians forced to be in street where cars speed around the bend. Very dangerous.

Pedestrians are forced to walk along Clippership. Very dangerous.

Sidewalks have not been cleared. Appears that snow from parking lot has been plowed onto them.

Walking along Pleasant/Salem St, trying to cross Fellsway East, there is a median that is very high and awkward. Impossible for wheelchair to navigate. My baby's stroller nearly flipped over trying to go over it. It does not feel safe to walk out into the intersection around the median either with speeding and turning cars. Please make this accessible to all.

The sidewalks from 238-246 Salem St. are uncleared. This is the whole length of the block between Court St. and Everett St.. The sidewalks along the sides of this property on Court St. and Everett St. also have not been cleared.

The sidewalk outside Valvoline on Salem St is unshoveled

Nearly completely unshoveled for entire stretch. Sidewalks are not passable for wheelchairs, strollers, many people. Speeds are to high here to force users into the street in this area going into, around, and coming off Salem St rotary.

A crosswalk is needed to cross Oakland St. where it meets Salem St. One can walk all along the sidewalk from the other side of 93 and then upon getting to this intersection, there is no crosswalk to cross either Salem St. or Oakland St. This is quite dangerous since cars on Salem St. have a ramp to encourage them to go fast as they turn right onto Oakland, and no one is really looking for pedestrians there.

Sofa has been dumped on sidewalk, completely obstructing public access.

At 85 Fulton, there is a sofa on the sidewalk that takes up the whole width of the sidewalk. A person on foot can't even make it by without stepping into the road or up onto the lawn (which has a huge angled cement step and is a hill itself). Very dangerous situation for strollers, wheelchairs, or people with mobility issues.

Not sure what the exact address is...if it is Clippership Drive or George Hassett Drive as the See Click Fix map is saying, but across the street from the side of City Hall (the side that is closer to route 93) is a municipal parking lot. In walking along the sidewalk in front of the parking lot, I saw two used needles on the grass between the sidewalk and the parking lot.

I pressed the button for a walk signal multiple times, and waited over 3 full cycles, but never got a walk sign. This was from the corner of the intersection that has a house with a children's playset. When I had previously crossed from one of the other corners I didn't have a problem.

Despite having previously assured Officer Brooks that it would not happen again, the owners of a car at this address continue to park it so that it is obstructing the sidewalk.

Sofa on sidewalk.

The area that leads to the little pedestrian path that connects the parking lot by the SpringStep building (and whatever other boarded up building is there) to the Salem Street rotary needs attention. There are overgrown weeds (like 3 to 4 feet tall) along the walkway, other overgrown vegetation that makes this area feel dangerous because it takes away visibility and makes for a good spot for lurking, and so much trash all over. I was walking there with a visitor to Meford yesterday who said "This is digusting! And so close to City Hall!" It is true. It is disgusting, and Medford needs to do better by its pedestrians.

The bus stop behind city hall is dangerous. People waiting for the bus are standing on a slope of dirt and the buses pull right up to the slope. It is a bad idea to have people walking down a slippery slope as the bus is pulling up alongside it. It is only a matter of time before someone slips underneath the bus and is run over. Can the buses pull up 10-15 feet away from the slope so that if someone does slip they won't go directly under the moving bus?
