The following request came in to the Melrose Ped/Bike Committee:

I'm a Melrose resident who rides a bicycle to Oak Grove to commute to work. However, the road on the northbound side (Oak Grove into Melrose) is becoming unsafe due to debris, small rocks and dirt, on the side of the road meaning I have to either ride over the top of the dirt which is unstable or ride into the middle of the lane causing issues with motor vehicles who do not move over enough. This is made worse by the fact that it is normally dark when I am making the return commute.

This has only become an issue with the construction at 37 Washington Street and I'm sure will be an ongoing issue until the construction is complete and therefore it would be appreciated if it would be possible to periodically clean that side of the road to make it safer for bicycles.
