Please be advised that this is a private way. The abutters have a responsibility to maintain the way.

Public ways take priority over private ways with street sweeping.

We pay taxes. We are plowed by the city in the winter. The roads must be maintained by the city for safety. What if a police or fire vehicle skidded on all of that dirt? It’s the same as plowing or sanding because of ice. Please reconsider. We all paid to have the road paved (through a contract that the city negotiated for us) and we have complained regularly about the improper grading at the top of Oxford Rd that has caused a significant increase in the water coming down the hill during most any rain event. The water is incorrectly directed into property driveways, taking with it dirt, rocks, and debris, and dumping it at the bottom of the street. This is very unfair and as abutters AND taxpayers, we feel we aren’t getting any support.
