Description

Hello,
Let me make it clear that I realize that the amount of consecutive snows storms overwhelmed us all including the towns and city's surrounding Boston. We appreciate all the hard work by the dpw but Eastern ave has been a mess since day one. I've been a Chelsea resident for over 40 yrs and have never seen such an awful job at plowing a Main Street and truck route. Why make a street a snow emergency and then proceed to plow 6 ft off of the curb? I've noticed every town in the surrounding area cleaning up the snow piles on main streets such as Broadway, Revere and other major streets in other city's. I've noticed that some snow removal was indeed performed on Broadway but we the residents of Eastern ave have seen no such clean up on our street. Most of us don't have driveways and parking on the street is our only option. The issue here is that cars are in the middle of the street causing some cars to be side swiped, huge traffic jams, and people having to walk in the middle of traffic which includes big heavy trucks just to enter their vehicle. As a fellow long time tax payer I hope that this issue can be resolved before any further action is taken.

Also one more thing, please take a look of Broadway in front of the Chelsea creek. People walking in the middle of the street just to get to and from Revere. The issue here is that the plow drivers decides that 10 ft off of the curb was a justifiable distance for a Main Street. I assume that someone being hit by a car could bring a suit against the city.

Thank you for your attention,
Worried Chelsea Resident
