This is BS, the DPW Needs to get its act together and widen the roads and push back piles at corners after EVERY snowfall on EVERY street in town. Every street. Every corner. We all pay the same freaking taxes and should be treated equally.
OK, the road in that photo is NOT plowed wide enought for two vehicles to pass, yet alone a bus and a car. Where is the DPW, Asleep at the switch? There is NO excuse for ANY of our roads to continue to be this narrow. The town needs to keep the plows out working until this is resolved.
