Request #2018-4231 (Framingham, MA - Police)

Request for public records made to City of Framingham by susan petroni.

Agency

City of Framingham

Summary

Evening Lt,   Under the public records law, SOURCE media is requesting a list of top 10 locations in Framingham for "accidents."   Source is seeking a list of the 10 intersections with the most crashes in 2018, based on log entries. By crashes Source is seeking information involving vehicles and not pedestrians struck crashes.   Source would like to know which intersection is #1 (through 10) and how many crashes for example  Route 9 and Temple Street -12 crashes, 1 fatal. Route 9 and Prospect street - 10 crashes - 0 fatal     I believe this should be capable with a search of the police department's database of its log entries. The work should take less than the two hours. State does allow for a charge beyond two hours worth of work. It is not possible for the public, or the media, to conduct a search with the public log posted online, for the same information.   Source is requesting all the data electronically, via email or PDF files.   As a representative of the news media,  SOURCE is requesting a waiver of all fees for this request. Disclosure of the requested information to SOURCE is in the public interest because it is likely to contribute significantly to public understanding of the activities of the school department.   The Public Records Law requires the City to provide SOURCE with a written response within 10 business days - be it either the electronic files or a reason why they can not be given to the media outlet.   If the City cannot comply with SOURCE's request, you are statutorily required to provide an explanation in writing, state which exemption under state law.   I am not in a hurry, so the information can come in 2019. If you need a time extension, please ask. Thanks in advance. Susan 2018-4231
