Either somebody’s going to fall flat on their face and get seriously injured on these decaying sidewalks and/or somebody’s going to lose a frontend strut, a tire or their exhaust system on their automobiles on these massive potholes. Somerville, we can do much better than this!
There is no excuse for these streets and sidewalks across the city to be in such disrepair. What has our administration up at city hall been doing for the past two years?  These decaying sidewalks and streets didn’t just happen overnight, they’ve been like that for the past two years. 
very true John!
Clearly a lack of oversight by the City. All the temporary paving continues in a manner not conducive for safe passage on the sidewalks and streets along Central, Highland and numerous other locations throughout teh city.
Its a public safety issue for pedestrians, bicyclist, and public safety vehicles.
