It’s the middle of July and as usual many roads have not been painted with the yellow or white lines. With all the idiots texting and on their cell phones this is a major safety issue. The lines may help a driver realize that they are over the center line but with no lines it becomes a major safety issue. The little river bridge should be painted so as to keep cars from coming into the other lane. I will mention one more where little river road runs into route 20 all the safety stripes are missing or faded out. In general the roads in Westfield are a disgrace, the patching is hideous. Getting back to the marking of the roads if an accident was caused by not having the proper lines I wonder if the city could be held liable in contributing to the accident, especially at night time? One more thought the paint as well as the tar that the city purchases need to be improved as the quality sucks!!!! I wonder how much money Mr. Dobelle will get from his lawsuit? This was an example of hiring the wrong person, all that was needed in the hiring process was to Google his name and you would have known what type of person he was. I believe that anyone who had anything to do with his hiring should be fired as they are incompetent in their job. This will never happen and the citizens of Westfield will pick up the tab as always.
