City Fix it

Had to think of a subject to get the ball bouncing and liven up this site again. Didn't take me long
City Fix It is more of a farce and feel good site.
I've used it numerous times and have always been told to do their work for them.
A great example is the Trash Transfer Station on Wilder St. Extension. We fought VERY hard to block them from locating there and sadly lost
They have been in violation since day one and are still getting away with doing whatever they want, because no one will pursue it.
City Hall told me it was a police issue and assigned to them and to contact them. The P.D. was unaware it was their job. Call after call after call got me no where. Excuses were....the gates are locked and P.D. have no access. I was then later told it was the trains loading the scrap. Hours are anywhere from 6 p.m. to 7 a.m. every single day. Crash, bang, boom and i am partially deaf and can hear it from numerous streets away.with windows closed. Summer is worse with windows open. People have to go to work and can't sleep through this noise. Others, such as myself, have interrupted sleep, if any at all.
I was then told to contact the train station. HELLO! That isn't MY job. I thought that was what City Fix It was all about.
They are passing the buck and I want people to know what a farce this is. I pay my taxes, which pays their salary and they want ME to do their work too?

I follow the issues and sadly, the city and some city groups do have good intentions when improvements are made; suchas, landscaping, planting flowers, but no means to maintain them. One poster on SeeClickFix named Chris does see a lot of need for improvement, whether its a tattered flag, weeds over taking a garden, etc, Its sad, people in the area don't help with maintenance. The city does a one day "Clean Up" day, the way ppl treat the city with trash, carelessly dumping trash, needles is so disrespectful. Clean up day really should be everyday.

Its also obvious that ppl are bailing out; just on Southworth Street alone, 5 houses sprang up for sale after one sold pretty quickly.

I agree ,,,been living here my whole life and every year it gets worse and no end in sight...I drove around today and saw cars parked on the sidewalks ..were people had to walk in the street to get around...cruisers drive right by no ticket no warnings nothing.. its an epidemic in this city!!!I I was just told about the wonderful FREE concerts the city puts on every thursday nite,, bands, food venders,lites.tents.and police... who pays for this FREE concert the taxpayer!!!so all you people that have a street full of pot holes remember the FREE CONCERTS ALL SUMMER LONG....!!!doesnt cost the city a dime....or our mayor letting business use city property for free to park thier commercial vehicles on... from BRIDGEWATER!!! well like daisy said white flight is going on right now and will continue until you have a full fledge ghetto!! as for me Iam done with click fix..calling police...when the mayors house in cape verde is done so will he be with the city....!! its a shame to see the great city I grew up in.. raised a family.. and now have to leave due to changing demographics....yes the truth does hurt but so does my heart getting run out of my home town by a pack of scumbags...

Ha - I logged into Facebook over the weekend and the Mayor was taking credit for various streets that are newly paved. I could give him a list of those that are horrible. Why do they fix strips and leave the rest of the road full of holes? We entered Wilder Street Extension on Saturday when when we missed the entrance to Yankee Custom Truck. Speaking of trucks, as we turned around, a very large one was barreling towards us, barely allowing us to do so. I can see the problem they face. Cape Verdean Creole for "Proof" the new Thursday night entertainment, Prova, on the vacant lot downtown is funded by donations, not taxes. I'll start a thread on that.

As for the houses on Southworth, I suspect it's the 300,000 plus cars from West Bridgewater every day that are making them flee. I face it on another nearby street, too. These people who want to avoid the backups on Route 106 are making it impossible for me to safely leave my house. They are fast, aggressive, unfriendly. Go back to your town and use your roads. Values are on the rise. Front to back splits are hovering around $350,000 with ranches slightly lower. Maybe these higher prices will bring in a better crowd, since those prices are not attainable by the EFT crowd.
