Roads, streets need better plowing

Reader unhappy with the maintenance on area highways

To the editor:

Ever since the snow has come, the highways and back roads have been poorly plowed, or not even plowed.

I have seen so many people get into accidents, or have not been able to stop and have gotten into accidents.

I don't understand the funding thing. They should have enough funds to plow the middle of the road in the middle of town. Some people have to cut into the other lane to pull into places that are across the street.

Children are starting to think it is fun to play on these piles of snow. I have always learned and will always follow safety first, and at this rate, I believe I am the only one who is following this.

People on the highways are driving either too slow or too fast, and in these conditions, the roads shouldn’t be this bad that they should have to drive slow, or they do have to drive fast to get past the slow people.

Last spring, I was walking to the store to get a bag of chips. All of a sudden a big rock hit me in the collar bone.

The other thing that should be taken into consideration is the gravel they are using. Salt or sand should be put on the roads, not gravel.

I am concerned about people’s safety this Christmas. We have had many accidents, and I don’t want to have anymore.

Please do something about the roads.
