Who to write to about street repair?

Hello fine Davis Square Residents - I apologize that this isn't specific to Davis, however I know you are all a politically savvy bunch and I'm hoping you can answer a question for me. I am trying to figure out who to address a complaint about the horrible state of the roads in Medford. I can look up specific names and addresses, I'm just not sure if I should be sending my letter to the Public Works department, my ward councilor, the city council, a letters to the editor page, etc.

Thanks all.

I don't know what's wrong with Medford but in my few years of living there it seems to have one of the lowest clue indexes I've seen in a while. A couple of years ago Medford closed down Harvard St (the main route from Davis Sq area to I-93 and SR-16) between Main St and Winchester St for several days so that they could tear up and repave a 3 foot wide swath the length of that section of road. The entire road is and has been in serious disrepair and large sections of that road are just a patchwork of patches. Now that patch is starting to fall apart too. I live on the Medford side of the Medford Somerville line and am very happy that I have gotten my son out of Medford schools ridding myself of the one association I have with day to day Medford activities.
