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.
I am in complete support of the refurbishing and reopening of Norwood Hospital. I was working at Saint Elizabeth during this time. When steward took over our HOSPITAL group, Caritas Christie. They decimated not only our hospitals, but also two hospitals in the tiny nation of Malta.
Moderate or heavy snow showers, with a high of 38 and low of 24 degrees. Don't forget your umbrella! Sunny in the morning, ice pellets in the afternoon and evening, clear overnight.
Senator Rush is correct re: the ambulatory services. One only has to drive on RTE 109/Westwood to see the number of out of town ambulances going through town at all times of the day. Then they have to get to Boston or Needham.
This is progress and I am glad to see the Select Board moving in the right direction. However, a majority of voters at last Monday's Special Town Meeting voted to recommend that the Select Board immediately cease its lawsuit against the Westwood Land Trust.
