Over the past 9 mOver the past nine months, 514 sidewalks, 61 potholes, and 72 street lights were reported to the city as needing repairs and attention .

Last September, Mayor Martin Walsh announced Neighborhood Engagement Walks Boston (NEW), an audit of 850 miles of city streets to be done by representatives of the Mayor’s Office of Neighborhood Services (ONS) with the intention of evaluating and dealing with infrastructure issues as well as constituent concerns in each of Boston’s neighborhoods.

Last week, the mayor’s office released the audit’s findings. ONS representatives covered over 11,000 miles and identified 5,695 cases citywide, ranging from road and sidewalk maintenance to street light repair. The most cases were reported in Dorchester, with just over 20 percent, 1,168, while Allston/Brighton and South Boston came in second and third, respectively, at 748 and 598. The majority of the cases in Dorchester were sidewalk repairs handled by the Public Works Department.

“I am proud of the work that Neighborhood Services has done to invest in every street and community in Boston,” said Walsh in announcing the completion of the survey. “This report, for the first time in our history, truly assesses every piece of this city, and allows us to better serve the people in our neighborhoods.”

The final report noted that of the cases handled by the Public Works Department (3,218 citywide), more than 95 percent have been closed. However, there is no detail about the percentage of cases closed in individual neighborhoods.

“The Neighborhood Engagement Walks allowed me to be out in the neighborhood and to be approached by many familiar faces,” said Alec Bonelli, the ONS liaison for Dorchester, in noting that the audit allowed him to engage with neighbors he had nogt met before who were unfamiliar with this city-wide effort “and other programs and activities going on right here in Dorchester.”

The walks “were a new, great way for neighbors to discuss the unique issues they were seeing in their neighborhood on a daily basis,” said Dorchester resident Ben Tankle, who was quoted in the report. “The initiative was a creative, interactive way for constituents and city workers to partner to solve these issues.”
