Listen to latest PulseLine Calls at http://www.thewestfieldnews.com

Hello Pulseline and all it’s faithful readers. Just want to take a moment of your time to voice a few concerns over the new NightTime Truck Exclusion on Paper Mill Road. I’m a resident impacted by the exclusion and I’m just concerned how I’m going to drive my own personal vehicle, A Ford F250, down the road while the exclusion is in place. My vehicle weighs over 2.5 Tons. Am I not allowed to drive on my own street at night? There are a few residents of the area with larger suv’s that fall into the same category. For what it’s worth I’d like to express sympathy to the Holyoke Road resi- dents. While this exclusion is great for my neighborhood, it’s totally unfair to theirs. We used to share the truck noise and now they get double, and they don’t deserve it. So much for being neighborly. I think the exclusion should be removed and instead the focus be put back on fixing the underpass at the intersection of Route 20 and East Mountain Road. Thank This April 10, 2019, file photo shows a view of the site of an airstrike by Saudi-led coalition in Sanaa, Yemen. President you.

The current culvert on Klaus Anderson Road is deterio- rated and undersized. “There’s been several instances where waters have encroached upon the right of way (on the road),” said Brown. There’s also a concern that if the culvert continued to be ignored, it could become a safety issue for vehicles, bicy- clists, and pedestrians traveling on Klaus Anderson Road. “If the water spills over onto the road, then we have to shut the road down,” said Brown. In May of 2018, Brown announced that the town was in the process of joining the M.V.P. program and applying for the grant. Working with a number of other town officials to discuss which projects in Southwick should be pursued under the M.V.P. program, Brown met with the Select Board earlier this year and they decided that the dredging of the canal and the culvert replacement on Klaus Anderson Road were the projects that fit with the program.
