Female bus driver said she thinks it's dangerous for City Sanitation trucks to block the entire width of the street when they're doing the trash pickup. She said she's afraid there will be a bad accident.
It is almost impossible to find a Section 8 home in this town. I hear its because there is so much money to be made off housing here. I want to know where I can find a decent home for my child and I to live. I've been looking for a decent home for almost 2 years now. I'm a great tenant, pay my rent on time, keep a clean home, and stay quiet. Despite these things, I can't find a home because we are low income. Where do I find a place to live in this town?!
Nothing urgent, but I walk past the lawn at City Hall each day and see ways that it could be "greener". - The crews mow at a very low height. If grass is mowed higher the blades shade the soil, keeping the roots cooler and more healthy. It also keeps sunlight from hitting the soil, which prevents weed seeds from germinating, which reduces the need for pesticides. - The crews remove the clippings. Using a mulching mower returns the clippings to the lawn system, reducing the need for fertilizer. It's also less work to not have to empty the mower bag. - The grass was mowed yesterday. Today (Friday 5/18) much of the lawn has a silvery color to it. If you look at the grass blades in these areas you'll see that the tips are shredded instead of being cleanly cut. This means that the mower blade is so dull that it's ripping rather than cutting. The shredded grass blades are more susceptible to disease than cleanly cut ones. Just my 2 cents, thanks for listening, Rich Pierce

A woman named Ava Grubb called and asked to talk to someone about the condition of local cemeteries. She said she is especially concerned about one cemetery in particular, but did not want to give specifics.
I am here to report AGAIN a safety issue on E Hillside Dr, between S Henderson St and S Park Ave. There is a tree branch that has been laid on top of the street for almost ONE YEAR! Please remove the falling branch before it actually falls on the street and damages cars and pedestrians.
Tried to sell us amway.
Who do I contact to purchase a brick on the sidewalk?
It would be great if the city could offer some professional development courses geared toward women. I work on the IU campus as a professional staff and there is very little support offered for the types of challenges we face. For example, a class like this on salary negotiation would be so helpful.https://www.boston.gov/departments/womens-advancement/aauw-work-smart-boston
