Westwood's Department of Public Works has announced that its summer paving projects will start on Wednesday, July 6, 2022 and will include the following streets, in order: Booth Drive, Fearing Drive, Hawktree Drive, Magaletta Drive, St. Dennis Drive, Putting Drive, a portion of Strasser Ave and Willard Circle.
These areas will have concrete ramps installed to comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act. There will be sidewalk work done and milling of existing roadways. Catch basins and manholes will be adjusted and paving will take place.
The work on sidewalks is planned for 7:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. on weekdays beginning July 6. The final paving is anticipated to begin the week of July 25, 2022, but is dependent upon weather.
Brendan Ryan, Assistant Public Works Director, also announced that Phillips Brooks Road and Strasser Avenue are areas where Eversource is working on an infrastructure project. He noted that due to Eversource's construction being incomplete, these areas will be paved next spring.
Residents with questions or concerns may contact the Department of Public Works at 781-320-1037.
These are great strides in addressing concerns about a lack of openness and two way dialogue raised by Westwood citizens. Thanks to the Select Board and to Mr. Read for listening and acting.
Thank you Ms. Galkowski for this thoughtful acknowledgement of positive steps being made by our Town government. My generation loves the positive empowerment. Exemplary.
In promulgating the public comment policy, the Select Board has taken a big step towards showing willingness to engage in conversation with Westwood residents about the many important issues at hand—currently, the Fire Station 1 and the budget.
