Since Newfield Dr is a townroad, I am reporting this here. If this is not the right place, please let me know who is responsible for ploughing the snow from sidewalks. I have written to adjacent condo complexes of Natick Green, Kendall Square as well as Natick Village. They have told me that they are not responsible for ploughing the snow. If this information is not correct, I request you to fine these complexes for not doing their responsibility and misinforming. I have email documentation and would be happy to share. Thank you

WE DO NOT PLOW THE SIDEWALKS ON NEWFIELD DRIVE.

Who is responsible?

Adjacent condo complexes have denied the responsibility of ploughing the snow? They have emailed me saying that this is town road and they dont owe the responsibility of snow ploughing. Surely somebody is responsible?

Please let me know who is responsible for ploughing this snow from sidewalks.

Please help me with this. I dont have a car and have to commute to hospital tom early morning. Kindly inform whoever is responsible for ploughing the snow to clear the sidewalk. Thank you for your consideration.

To whosoever is responsible for ploughing the snow over Newfield Dr sidewalk. Please take immediate action. It is very unsafe for commuters and no action has been taken yet.

I request you to take immediate action

This has been an ongoing issue for years, the condo maintenance groups have done it since those complexes were built. The Town plows sidewalks on main roads only.

In that case, the condos should be held accountable because they are not plowing the sidewalks. In their email to me they said that it is not their responsibility.

I hope you will let me know where I can report these violations if this is not the correct forum.

Thanks

Thank you for plowing/ instructing the adjacent condos to do the needful. In the future, in case the snow deposited sidewalk is not plowed and poses as hazard, please let me know where should I register my conplain.

Appreciate your cooperation

This has been answered a few times, it's the condos job to clear sidewalk so you should call them.

I'm sorry but is it my job to contact the condos to have the snow plowed? Is it not the town's responsibility to ensure the safety of pedestrians? According to the bylaws, the town has the power to fine establishments not plowing snow on adjacent sidewalks? Would it not be fair that you start using that discretionar power rather than asking me to call? Today, I have slipped numerous times on the slippery sidewalk, and who will I hold responsible if I fall down? This is not the first time that I am reporting this, as you maybe aware. I have been doing this since 2018.And also for your information I have clarified this numerous times that I have already emailed the condos and each has said that each has said that they do this out of courtesy and its the town job. I have email evidence of it and can share it. If they are not giving me the right information whose job is it to coordinate this?

This is how the sidewalks look like. With 1 foot snow forecast, can you imagine what the sidewalks will look like tom? Please could you put in a word with the condo managements. Thank you

The following is response from Natick Green Management

I appreciate receiving this email from you with regard to the ice forming on Newfield Dr. I understand your concern however, I don’t know who told you that this was the responsibility of Natick Green Condo Trust.

Back in 1995, the town was paid a considerable amount of money to take back the road on Newfield Dr. which makes it public property owned by the town and it is their responsibility to maintain the street and sidewalk.

If this were private property, the town would not have a say in who could park on Newfield Dr. I believe they have signs posted regarding overnight parking from November through April.

I spoke to my maintenance director and showed him the picture you sent and asked that he look at it and see if we could sand or salt the sidewalks between the properties this one time.

Because we are not responsible to do this or plow this area I don’t think you should expect that we continue to do so going forward.

I appreciate your time and consideration regarding this matter. Should you have any questions please feel free to contact me again.
