We have lived on Pleasant Lane since 1970. We have had
peridodic problems with snow removal throughout the years.
We have been extremely patient.
Problems with snow removal have risen dramatically
during the past three years. Snow has been pushed down
Pleasant Lane and dumped directly in front of our mailbox. On

we called. We we.re. told that if we moved the mailbox that the

as directed. Now the snowplow speeds down the road and di.gs

the town caused the problem that they would correct it. I called

the snow has to be put somewhere, but we are not responsible

We have called the highway department on at least S1.X
different occasions. We are extremely annoyed with the situation.
