I'm in Ward 1 also and this was the worst plowing I've seen in years. There were no parked cars on our street and they left snow 5 feet from the curb. While I was shoveling, I actually watched a plow go up the cleared street without plowing any snow to the side. I hope that a Fire truck doesn't need to get thru my street, because they probably wouldn't make it with the cars parked on the street now.

Ward 1 precinct 1 was selected to test a new pay by the inch snow removal plan and I can honestly say that the snow plowing in the area was the worst in 10 years. I hope someone rethinks this new plan because it doesn't work.

I live in Hanson and it is obvious that when the town hires 'sub-contractors' to plow the streets, all that is necessary to be hired is to have a plow on your truck.
My cul-de-sac has no circular island in it, ..it's just a big, round end to the road. Inevitably, my house frontage, being at the end of the street, ends up with 90% of the snow. These plow operators have no clue as to what they are doing. There seems to be an unwritten law that plows MUST go counter-clockwise around this circle, dumpling mounds of snow on the front of everyone's driveway openings. If they go clock-wise, the leading edge of the plow would cut cleanly through the snow and there'd be no piles in front of your driveway.

Spring Street in Quincy was plowed but not by a city Truck. I want to know why the backhoe keeps coming down the street and keeps pushing snow back onto peoples property not onto corners of the street where it should be. Besides aren't taxpayers paying for this hourly when there's no more snow to plow!! Not Quincy's best use of budgeting money when lots of people are unemployed...
