Constituent concerned with the fact there are no handicap accessible restrooms in the commons. This sends a very loud message to the residents and tourists coming into the city. The city is in clear violation of the ADA act. There has been millions of dollars worth of renovations done to our parks, but the most trafficed park is not fully accessible to those with disabilites. There are no signs with brail or large font for those with vision impairment. Complaints have been submitted previously and nothing has been done. He understands things take time to get done but this is something that should be prioritized. | Type of improvement: [Other] Affiliation type: [Constituent]

I would like to make a request and ask why there are no public restrooms at a historic park for the kids and adults? At 120 MLK Blvd Roxbury Ma 02119? The city has a public bathroom down Dudley but there no bathrooms for the kids or adults to use at Washington park? . Who should we contact to make that request? Also why isn’t bpd patrolling the area anymore like they did when menino and Walsh was in office? At least when there is games and big crowds at park on MLK Blvd to make the community feel safe! | Type of improvement: [Other] Affiliation type: [Constituent]
