Shane Mark, Newton’s Director of Streets, will attend the January 2021 TAG meeting to discuss snow and snow-related issues. This topic is a place to collect questions, comments, and pictures. Feel free to add comments here. This topic is a wiki, so you can edit the content of this text to add issues here if you wish.
Snow Issue:
- Bike lanes are not plowed so bikes can travel safely. Plows just push snow into the bike lanes and leave it there until it melts. What is the policy re: plowing bike lanes?
I wonder if bike lanes could at least be handled in a second pass. It seems like after the storm, there’s little followup except for some complaint-driven sidewalk work.
