Unplowed Sidewalk Update

Today Jennifer asked at the town hall and discovered why the sidewalks along Route 148 haven’t been plowed: the town’s plow would tear up the grass along the edges. When the sidewalks were built, the landscaping was done so that the turf was above the pavement, rather than level with it (the dirt was level with the sidewalk, and then they laid the turves on top of that). This wouldn’t be a problem if the plow’s blade wasn’t four inches wider than the sidewalk. Apparently they didn’t check with the town before they built them. The town is trying to get a narrower blade to deal with this. Yes, you may shake your head.
