Comments
- Staff · February 19, 2026Thank you for contacting the Department of Public Works regarding your concern at 5122 Dorchester Road. A Right of Way Senior Inspector conducted a field inspection of the location. At the time of the site visit, the alley/right of way was observed to be clear and free of obstructions. No vehicles, trailers, or equipment were found blocking alley access, and no conditions were identified that would restrict trash collection or general passage. Because conditions in the field can change, we will continue to monitor the area as part of routine operations. If the issue reoccurs, we encourage you to submit an updated request and, if possible, provide photographs along with the approximate date and time the obstruction is observed. This information greatly assists us in verifying conditions and responding appropriately.
