Winchester Readers Respond to Snow Removal

After seeing blizzard-like conditions and a flood advisory, communities saw snow emergencies and parking bans. State offices closed in 9 counties and many schools closed through out the state on Tuesday.

The communities of Massachusetts are now busy working to clear away the snow off the streets, sidewalks and driveways.

Did you brave the roads this morning? Does your road need to be plowed or salted? Patch recently asked our readers what roads in Middlesex county need work and here’s what readers had to say:

• “How about plow the sidewalks on Mass Avenue so the kids can walk to their bus stop not walk on a busy street.” - Lexington
• “Every side street and the Oak Grove intersection” - Malden
• “I live off Rt 20 and I’ve lived here 3 yrs now and I have to say Marlborough does a good job plowing. I want to thank the ones who plow for all the hard work you do during these storms.” - Marlborough
• “Forest st. At the sharpeners pond road end” - North Andover
• “Driving this morning the roads were clear to pavement. Private plows left some mess here and there. Parking lots onto streets were a little messy, but manageable! Kudos once again to the town of North Reading DPW for a long duration stem cleaned up efficiently and well maintained!” - North Reading
• “Symonds Way to the Burbank ice arena- very slippery there” - Reading
• “The roads have been good lately. Very impressed by the DPW. It was noticibly better than the roads in Wilmington over the past couple storms!” - Tewksbury
• “Temple St- still covered in snow” - Tewksbury
• “All the sidewalks!” - Tewksbury
• “The last two snowstorms have been good plowing. Our street usually doesn’t get plowed until way after the snow is over, like the one before the last two. Didn’t see a plow until almost 24 hours after it stopped snowing. Our road is notorious for being badly plowed. It’s always snow covered, but at least it’s plowed and passable, although I don’t think they ever salt it. Much better so far this Winter. I live on Emily Road.” - Tewksbury
• “South St to the beach always needs more attention.” - Hopkinton
• “Left Davis Road, onto Main, W.Main to South and all were just perfect-good job to highway crew!” - Hopkinton
