Horrendous amounts of road salt on Halifax St JP. Clean it up and fix trucks to not dump gallons at corners.

They have OVERLY salted this path for the small dusting of snow we got last night. And now it’s going to be there for days or worse washing off into the ground. This path is constantly over salted but this is a ridiculous amount of salt for a dusting of snow.

The photo is of Charlemont St in Dorchester. The fact that the salt wasn’t spread correctly it’s more ridiculous that the city salted the roads in the first place. I was out at 0530 hours and the sidewalks were all completely dried as was the road this was a complete waste of taxpayers money. Perhaps the Department Head who ordered the salting should be fired.

Over salting of road way. Please send street sweeper.

Excessive and unnecessary road salting. Four(!) salters have driven down this street in the last couple hours. It isn’t snowing - barely drizzling - and the temperature in Boston isn’t going to drop below freezing. What the heck is going on and how much money is the city blowing on this?!

Excessive salt from the truck coming out high and fast hit me (while I was well on the sidewalk), half way up my legs staining my pants and boots, getting in my boots and really startling me. If I had been closer I’d probably have been hit in the face. It seemed like overkill.

the whole Ashmont Sq area needs salt |

Heath st and fisher ave. Around the rotary. BW&S called to report they need salting in this area due to a hydrant that was damaged and leaked water. The water is now frozen and needs some salting in this area. Requesting assistance with this matter. |

It was freezing last night and the water turned to ice I fell very hard and hurt my hip and shoulder and am very sore this morning I went back out and took pictures this morning as this is not a good way to start my day off limping and sore
