LETTER: 'Our Roads Are In Awful Condition'

The following is an open letter to East Haven town officials originally shared on the East Haven Patch's Facebook page.

To the Editor:

I have a question for the Town of East Haven.

Our roads are in awful condition. We have the worst plowed roads of any of the shoreline towns that I have traveled on in the past few days.

We have had a short lull in the snowy weather. But instead of our plows out widening back up the streets and clearing the large piles of snow on the corners of intersections, our plow trucks are parked.

Someone please explain to me why this is the case.

I am all for saving tax dollars and not paying unnecessary overtime, but I feel in this case it is justified.

ALL of our town roads need to be passible if for no other reason than for emergency vehicles to get through.

I welcome all comments agreeing or disagreeing with my thoughts.

Something needs to be done now. We have more snow falling as I type this as well as possible storms on Tuesday and next Monday.
