Dear Billy T and Somerville/Medford News Weekly Speakup Line,
Otis street..
They started on the 14th but they dug this portion of sidewalk on the 17th .. no boards or anything to help anybody get from their front stoop onto the street nor to get in/out of driveways. Gas and water lines and coming out of the ground (not visible with spray paint) exposed as you see in the pictures.
No closed walk signs. Sending residence down the opposite way of the one way with no guidance from workers or police officer.. my friend had to get out of his car and remove the cones himself to get out of the street this morning ..
Later today, they had people going down the street and both directions.. he believes they hit a gas line today. Fight Apartment and National Grid were there today. Right now, my friend said there’s a really bad gas smell on the street.
