Has Your Waltham Street Not Been Plowed?

The storm is long over, but many Waltham streets are still just as snow covered as they were Saturday morning.

Many Waltham streets are still covered with snow, according to Waltham residents who have vented their frustrations on Twitter and Facebook.  Waltham Patch readers have emailed and sent photos via Twitter of streets in their neighborhoods saying their roads are in still in roughe shape more than 24 hours after the storm ended. The City of Waltham has been working to clear the streets, but at least one City Councilor, Ken Doucette, hass been taking plowing requests and notifying. Tweet him at @KenDoucette. If your street needs to be plowed, list it in the comments. Photos are helpful also.  NOTE: To request your road be plowed, call the Waltham Consildated Public Works Department at 781-314-2855.

Just another program designed to waste our tax dollars on initiatives that should be conducted 365 days of the year, not just during the shopping season.   more ›
