To the Honorable Board:
I know the city is trying to do their best during this very snowy weather. I would like to make a suggestion.
I have been a resident of Somerville - Hancock St. to be specific since 1982 - and now for over 30 years because we are on the even side of the street we have had to deal with the plow coming through and pushing snow back into our driveway and sometimes over into the sidewalk after we have cleaned everything up - it’s a nightmare - and it doesn’t just happen once during a storm but many times.
Would it be possible to alternate years so that the odd side of the street gets their turn? Even year, even side? Unfortunately that would mean we would still have our turn again in 2016 but in 2017 the odd side of the street would get their turn.
I know this has been a record breaking week for snow - sure would be nice if some of the snow could be removed - it is becoming impossible to find anywhere to put the snow now.
Thanks for listening.
