Looking for some help. I recently had to have my vehicle fixed due to pothole damage of $400. I was given a brand new VW Jetta rental while my car was being fixed. My luck, I hit a crater on Western Ave and I lost my hubcap and dented the rim. The damage is $700. I’m trying to find the hubcap to recoup some of my loses. I was on Western Ave heading east towards Noble Hospital. If anyone sees or found the hubcap I would really appreciate it if you contacted me. My cell is 413-374-3020
Thank You.

I’m sure all my fellow citizens are relieved to know that the City of Westfield issued a press release regarding the date of the Easter egg hunt. Why can’t the city issue a statement regarding the repair of our roads? A simple statement regarding approximate dates and locations would suffice. It is beyond belief that the city is has been negligent in keeping its citizens informed about such an important issue.

Dear Pulseline Readers; What ever happened to the people like those that owned Lampson Furnature? When they sold a mattress and box spring, they would save the one’s that could be used again, and gave them to those who couldn’t afford to buy a set a lot of people can’t afford them and have to sleep on a bed that is ripped apart and has broken springs sticking in them all night. Thank you Lampsons for the time you were here and helped all those people! No one else will help these people out. You were #1. There are a lot of people that need this kind of help. Thank you Lampsons and and thank you pulseline.

Springdale Road is almost impassable, Shaker Road is in pieces, City View Road is no longer a road, only patches, there is a pothole large enough to swallow an entire tire on Rt. #187, etc., etc.. How could we ever allow our road maintenance to deteriorate to this point! Where is our sense of civic responsibility? You cannot just throw patch (cold or hot) into holes year after year and expect it to replace authentic road maintenance. And please Pulseline, don’t preach about contacting the proper city departments, DPW rides these roads every day and neither the Mayor or my City Councilman responds to my Emails. You cannot resurface a dozen roads with state money every fall and ever, ever hope to resolve these problems. And where are you taxpayers, it’s time to for everyone to call, email or visit our Mayor or your council representative and demand better roads, we just had an 8 percent tax increase so they certainly should have some extra money. Do something here Mayor, it’s why we elected you, we want better roads, not excuses!

I have never seen a more incompetent administration as this one. I can’t believe the conditions of the road. Unbelievable. I bet you there’s no potholes on Williams Street. I’m wondering if the city of Westfield still even has that hot patch machine for fixing the roads. I think it went the same way the stained glass windows from the Noble estate went. Poof!
