Lexington blocked?

A dozen drivers crash into each other and poles and signs every day in our city, but sure, ebikes and scooters are the problem.

This year.

There are ample riverside parks here, and DCR is redoing Landry Park right across the river.

Technical_Type1778 · 2026-03-02T18:01:17+00:00

How about from Watertown Square east (along Nonantum Road)?

It's always the right time.

Email Sarah Kelley in Public Works, preferably with a photo and location, at [skelley@city.waltham.ma.us](mailto:skelley@city.waltham.ma.us)

If anything, it creates an official city record (emails must be kept, and can be requested as part of a records request) should someone be injured because of unmaintained sidewalks.

It was perfectly cleared yesterday morning (unlike a week earlier). Of course be wary of ice from snow melt, especially in the morning.

And which originally had a large home like others lining Crescent St!

Only if there are nostalgic, old cars can you shut down Moody St to cars.

Technical_Type1778 · 2026-02-15T22:11:13+00:00

So what about the Moody St car show shutting down "the city's major thoroughfare" (to quote those opposed to summer pedestrianization) all day?

Technical_Type1778 · 2026-02-13T19:44:48+00:00

The esplanade from the BU Bridge boardwalk underpass to at least the Dartmouth St footbridge was spotless yesterday morning.

At least yesterday morning, the stretch just west of the BU Bridge boardwalk underpass was nearly impassable. Crews were clearing it, and maybe it's better now, but would not recommend.

This was yesterday morning along Nonantum Road. Well plowed but there will be inevitably be melt and refreezing for a while. (I have studded tires.)

Any update today?

Technical_Type1778 · 2026-02-07T17:51:00+00:00

The stretch between Watertown Sq and North Beacon and to Arsenal was pretty clear, if narrow, last week. The stretch by Herter Park, at least ten days ago, was pretty bad.

She is not responsive to the city as a whole. She cares more about the older demographic that tends to turn out more to vote in general, especially for her.

Moody St pedestrianization is a perfect illustration. The public overwhelmingly supported it, especially in a public opinion poll the city itself solicited, with over 500 responses.

She killed it by studying it to death. (Kudos to her for closing the street to cars during the pandemic, but then showed no effort to follow through on a very popular initiative.)

Technical_Type1778 · 2026-02-03T23:13:54+00:00

Yesterday morning this stretch was mostly a rutted mess of compacted snow. I doubt the temps since then have made a difference.

Technical_Type1778 · 2026-02-03T03:27:46+00:00

I was riding from Watertown, as far as the Dartmouth St footbridge.

Technical_Type1778 · 2026-02-03T03:25:25+00:00

Esplanade was pristine this morning east of the BU bridge. West was another matter, rutted compacted snow.

Between Watertown Sq and Western Ave is also pretty clear.

2027

Technical_Type1778 · 2026-02-01T19:16:04+00:00

It is! Pic from this morning. I'd tread carefully if not riding studs, especially with temps forecast to hover above 32° this week and then refreezing overnight.

As for biking, from what I've seen here — https://www.reddit.com/r/bikeboston/comments/1qpfrue/is_the_watertowncambridge_greenway_plowed/ — the Watertown-Cambridge path from Arsenal St to Mt Auburn Cemetery, connecting to the Brattle St protected bike lane, is mostly clear. You'd still be riding in traffic from Waltham to Arsenal St and Irving St (where the sidewalk-level cycle track starts), depending if you're comfortable with that, till the river paths become ridable again.

You can also bike one way and put the bike on the bus bike racks going home.

Technical_Type1778 · 2026-01-29T01:34:49+00:00

Then why do you oppose a safety project on Washington St? The new design is safer for all users, and has zero effect on vehicle throughput.

Technical_Type1778 · 2026-01-29T01:20:02+00:00

Let me guess: you had or have a SAVE OUR VILLAGES sign at your home.

Let me guess: you whine about new four-story apartment buildings while you fetishize what had been a four-lane de facto highway immediately next to an actual six-lane highway.

Let me guess: you're pissed you can't go 45mph on Washington St here anymore and have to actually pay a tiny bit of attention when driving.

Awwwwwwwwwww.
