Public Works - DA (Inspections) assigned this issue to Public Works - BD (Streets & Sewers)

The solution your are requesting will require radius curbing. That fine but, to be assured the correct radius is installed that will required a survey and design by a Professional Engineer. This situation will be reassigned to the Engineering Division. This remedy is more than likely two construction seasons out.

Thank you for reporting your concern to City of Cambridge via Commonwealth Connect. We have reviewed the information you provided our staff and will be investigating this issue further.

Thanks for the reply!! We understand it will take time and are just hoping to have it repaired before the trees are meaningfully harmed. We’ve had a professional survey of our property done in the recent past if that’s of any help at all? Thanks so much again for your help!

Hello! It’s been a little while, so I just wanted to check back on this curb request and see if there’s anything we can do on our end to advance this issue. We’re quite concerned about the trees and continued erosion in the area! I’m reachable at 617-319-8644 if it’s better to discuss live. Thank you!

Thank you for reporting this issue to the City of Cambridge. Unfortunately, the City is not responsible for addressing issues on MBTA property, but we've shared this report with the MBTA and asked them to address.

Please contact MBTA Customer Support at 617-222-3200 or visit http://www.mbta.com/customer_support/feedback/ if you'd like to submit this request directly to the MBTA online.

I’m not sure I understand what you mean by MBTA property? This is an issue at the corner of Fresh Pond Lane and Larchwood Drive, which is a residential area with no MBTA property nearby. Anything we can do to help clarify this?

Thank you for reporting your concerns about the sidewalk condition. As you can imagine, the City has more need for infrastructure improvements than available resources, but we've inspected this location and added it to our miscellaneous sidewalk repairs list. These locations are done on a rolling basis, with some prioritized over others, so the repair at this specific location may not occur for several months or even years.
