roll over
ash, pine, howe, all those streets are bad. Especially horton coming from ash or pine. People park on the corner to go the bank or to the store, park on the side of horton street where there is no parking signs. People don't stop at stop signs. There are a lot of kids around getting on and off buses. Those streets are all 25 mph. Slow down!!!!!!! I live on horton street and since I have been here there have been 6 accidents in the area of horton and pine, howe, walnut and bartlett. Plus people have been turning left from bartlett to ash. Ash is one way, you can only turn right if you are coming from sabattus street. If you are coming from walnut street you can only turn left. If you don't know the area look at the signs. Every street is clearly marked. Since ash street is now a one lane road, there needs to be no parking. There isn't enough room when there is snow. Best thing to do is just slow down.
