Dear Residents, Businesses, and Abutters
As part of the Common Street Project, the Department of Public Works and our contractor,
Onyx Corporation, will be milling marked sections of your street, WEATHER
PERMITTING, on Wednesday, June 24, 2020 into Thursday, June 25. Shortly thereafter,
crews will be adjusting road castings and the street will be paved. You will be notified prior
to paving.
These streets will be closed to motor vehicle traffic during the milling process which entails
cutting off a 1.5 inch deep section of the roadway. Please park your motor vehicles out of
the construction area on the intersecting side streets if necessary.
Please do not park your car on the street during the milling process. Vehicles not removed
from the street by 7:00 am, will be towed, per order of the Department of Public Works.
The Watertown Police will be informed of the construction and its effects.
We understand that the process is noisy, messy and disruptive and apologize in advance
for inconvenience you may experience. We know you will enjoy the improved appearance
and condition of your roadway for many years in the future.
Should you have any questions, please call the office at 617-972-6420.
Sincerely,
Gerald S. Mee, Jr.
