I’m reading the entry about the potholes on Western Ave. I have an idea!!! Why don’t the residents of this City SLOW DOWN. I travel Springdale Rd. every day and the potholes have been filled many times. Within an hour of being filled with; whatever is available at this time of year; the filling is everywhere but in the potholes because the drivers go TOO FAST.
Shame on the person who wrote in about the ripped flag on the front page of the paper. You are obviously not a Veteran. In the time it took you to write your nasty message, you too, could have gone and bought a new flag.
Last year a reader wrote into the pulse line asking about the light at the bottom of Clay Hill/ Notre Dame St intersection. The Westfield News commented that there was a part that had to be ordered. I question- how long does it takes for this part to come in. I seem to recall that the part of the traffic light that is covered up has been this way since the new bridge had been under construction. A couple of months ago, in the Springfield Republican Sunday paper, a reader also questioned about the light.. The Republican responded that by the time the question and answer appeared in the paper, the traffic light would be operational.. It still isn’t
I would ask the Westfield News to follow up on this. A major accident is just waiting to happen here.
I agree with the reader in Saturday’s Pulse Line comment about the potholes on Western Ave and other streets here in Westfield. Going back and forth to work, I see other streets that are just as bad and nothing has been done. There have been several nice days that the DPW could be out there filling in the holes. What are they waiting for??!!! I know the winter has been bad and there are many miles of streets in Westfield, but I think the city should concentrate on the main roads. Some holes are big enough to ‘swallow’ a car up!!! As the reader asked, where is the tar machine. Evidently the mayor doesn’t care what happens to our cars.. He / the city won’t pay for repairs. Does the city need to hire an outside firm to do the job the DPW is being paid not to do??!!
