Globe readers agree: too much snow on Allston sidewalks

Snow plows are too slow to clear streets - The Boston Globe
"I go to Allston a lot and yes, it's awful. People are right to complain. It's like Boston has forgotten that part of the city."

"I live in Allston, and before the snow storms, I used to walk over the pictured bridge daily to go to the Allston Public Library.Unfortunately, the snow was never cleared from the sidewalks, and turned to ice. I was afraid I'd slip and fall in the street, so I haven't tried walking the route in a few weeks."

"Everett Street is a joy compared to Market Street/Leo Birmingham Parkway, which has no side shoveled or plowed. Allston feels like the ugly step child of Boston this winter. Shame on the city."

    Hi Harry,

    My name is Gus Shlimbaum. I'm a Brighton resident and sportswriter for the Patriot Ledger in Quincy.

    I am also getting my Master's at Emerson in journalism and am working on a story about the lack of snow plowing in A-B. I love your blog as it keeps me informed about what's going on in my neighborhood.

    I saw the article in The Globe and was wondering if I could get a comment from you for a story which I'll post on our student website, JSONS.com. I also hope to speak with Councilor Ciommo about the issue.

    If you could send me an email as soon as possible (August_Shlimbaum@emerson.edu) or call me on my cellphone at (908) 303-0949, I would really appreciate it.

    Thanks,
    Gus
