Thank you for your reply. You mention the Main streets are swept 18 times a year? What about the rest of the streets, where taxpayers pay for the same service? I constantly hear how this town struggles to generate revenue. Well, if the town decided to start enforcing the parking regulations, tagging violators, developed a street sweeping program where you have the streets posted no parking during certain days of the week, not only would that generate revenue for the town but also keep the streets clean.. Maybe it’s time for a resident parking program as well. Same goes for winter snow emergencys where people refuse to get their cars off the street, face no penalty and the plows just go around them leaving the streets a mess...This is done in neighboring cities, Malden, Revere, Everett, Winthrop, Melrose, just to name a few....I don’t understand why it can’t be done here, I hope the town would start addressing these quality of life issues. Thank you.

The street sweeper will be sent back down Essex Street, thank you for this information. Your suggestions will be taken into consideration.

Haven’t seen a street sweeper since June! I guess no need to clean the streets in the summer either..This town needs a complete overhaul. Time to ditch the outdateted town govt and get a strong Mayor here who will listen and be accountable to the tax paying citizens ....
