Description
Active sidewalk repair on Green Street in Jamaica Plain (sideway directly outside of 101 and 103 Green Street) installed new cross walk landing too low. Landing previously repaired incorrectly in 2016 as it lowered the landing causing a low point in the sidewalk resulting in flooding/ice as it prevented adequate drainage of water down Green Street to street drain. Lower landing also making granite edge on our property unstable risking possible property damage and injury. Current repair lowered landing further and worsens the problem. Discussed with supervisor prior to repair that landing needed to be higher than before to prevent flooding and ice which he stated was the plan of the current repair. However, current repair has lowered landing further (markings on granite edge show prior sidewalk level ~6 inches higher in 2016 and ~2 inches higher since 2016). Prior repair in 2016 lowered the landing and has resulted in flooding and ice as well as destabilization of our granite edge. This should be addressed prior to completion of the ongoing repair of the sidewalk.

    Case Noted | The design of the ramp has changed due to the waterflow of the street. If the ramp was raised, then there would be a puddle prior to the ramp and it would not reach the catch basin
