- Barclay Road is not being plowed to the end/sides of the street as of the start of plowing, this afternoon, Jan. 25. Barclay Road in West Roxbury is a dead end street that ends in a "T." The road is typically plowed all the way to the "T" end sides as it is a continuation of the street and the only way that any vehicle, including an emergency vehicle, can turn around and go back up the street. Cars also pull in to park on the 'T" ends See the photos below taken at 2:35 pm 1/25/2026 after a plow went down, did not plow to the ends of the "T", but backed-up to LaGrange to repeat on the other side of the road, but again not making the left or right turn to do any of the much needed "T" portion plowing. I live at 18 Barclay Road and have for 36 years. My neighbor at 19 Barclay predates me and we share a driveway at the end of the road. For the first few years, my neighbor and I had to run out to the plow truck driver to indicate that the road does continue and needs to be plowed. We have not had to do this for many years and I thought the issue was resolved and that the city knew the "'T" needs to be plowed for access of vehicles. I fear this is not the case now. If we get over a foot of snow, neither my neighbor nor I, who have our cars parked in our shared driveway will be able to back up to turn on to the T in order to exit up Barclay to LaGrange Street. I can try to run out and tell the next plow driver to plow the "T" but I cannot be sure I will catch them all. Please let them know. Thank you for your help.

Case Noted. PWD will have over 850 pieces out for the height of the storm. Currently, the main priority is to ensure main road arteries are accessible for emergency services. Snow plows and salt trucks will be plowing sidestreets once they have ensured the main streets are clear. Thank you for your patience.
