Hey! How ya doin’ today? I just saw a news article talking about the $200 fine when you leave your car covered in snow. I was just wondering if that counts for the tractor-trailers, big box trucks and the school buses, which have a lot more snow on top, they’re a lot higher and they can cause a lot more damage. Are they exempt? And how come they don’t have to have seat belts on school buses where the little lids are? Another thing on my mind is how come there ‘s no signs to let the tractor-trailer drivers know on Holyoke Road and on East Mountain Road that there is no way out once they get on the road. I don’t know how many times I was on the road and see the poor driver stuck in the middle of the road with nowhere to go because they got the low underpasses up ahead of them and there’s no signs warning them. And also, how come there’s no height sign on the new underpass that they built when they did the bridge? They never put no signs back up so I guess the new truck drivers that aren’t familiar will just have to guess. Thank you.

Howya doin. I read the PulseLine a lot. This is for the baby that keeps calling in complaining about people should mind their business if they don’t go to court and they don’t know the whole story. I think the Westfield News and the 22news and 40news do a good job letting everybody know and reporting the news to let them know I think they do a real good job so everybody goes by what they say. And it’s pretty accurate. And I think the only reason he is complaining all the time because it must be one of his family members that almost killed the guy. If it wasn’t, he wouldn’t be saying that. I’m just wondering how he would feel if the shoe was on the other foot and it was one if his family members that almost got killed. I don’t think he’d be calling in. All right, I just wanted to say my piece. Thank you. Bye.

Can’t believe what I’m seeing right now driving down Montgomery Road, thank God I’m going the other way, but the people coming down off Notre Dame are clogged all the way down Notre Dame from the high school because the trash guys are doing trash and stopping everybody from getting to school and Montgomery Road which the high school is on is barely even plowed. It is a skating rink of snow. Good city officials – unbelievable!

Yes, this question is for the DPW: I was curious why their truck was sanding the Westfield Plumbing Supply Group parking lot on Coleman Ave. at approximately 8:15 Wednesday morning when they did not even salt or sand Coleman Ave. itself? Again, why was the DPW salting and sanding the Westfield Plumbing Supply Group on Coleman Ave. but not the street? Is this a new deal we have with the DPW – we can call them and get them to do private lots? I would definitely like a response to this and I do have a picture of this. When you called the DPW, what was their response?

Hi! Until all the plans for this parking garage that they’re talking about are finalized I think it would be a good idea if you just made that open space, where all those buildings were torn down into a parking lot. Doesn’t have to be anything fancy – just level it off, put a quick coat of pavement on it. It would be good for downtown Westfield. Just a though. Thank you.
