If the town simply did the right thing in the first place, it wouldn't have come to this.

Contractors need to follow through on agreements with neighbors. The failure to address the concerns of neighbors on the water run off is unreasonable. I also find the snow fence to be unsafe and a unreasonable safety substitute.
The water drainage has not met the requirements.

This standing water is a safety and health hazard and it is reprehensible that the city officials of Attleboro have not yet owned up to their responsibility to resolve this obvious problem for its citizens.

I think the town should require a fence around the basin; commiserate with requirements for a swimming pool. This basin is a safety hazard.
I think the design should be altered to not retain water; because the standing water will attract mosquitoes.

Ideally, this water should be completely drained so that it does not retain water. Mosquito larvae prefer shallow water less than 24" so this has been and will continue to be mosquito heaven! This is not fair to the previous and new residents of the neighborhood.

What's wrong with a little swamp after a rain storm? Everything.

If a private home owner built this, it would never fly and the town would be lining up their inspectors to shut it down.

These proposals simply require common sense...something that is less & less common in this liberal bureaucratic disaster we're forced to navigate

This storm water basin is what I would refer to as an "attractive nuisance". The city and builders are inviting trouble and lawsuits. A fence might keep away neighborhood youngsters but not mosquitoes. The whole area has to be redesigned. I agree it is absolutely a safety and health hazard.

This is unacceptable. Why does the administration allow contractors to do whatever they want while ignoring concerns of residents? This has to stop.

I'm extremly dissapointed in the lack of concern that the city of Attleboro has over this. Does a child or animal have to die before the force the builders to put a proper fence around it?! But also just as disappointed that they think it's ok to have a man made area of standing water in our neighborhood to draw in misquitos & make our lives miserable... not to mention the health risks that the misquitos bring with them.
