Greater City Providence

Reader Photo: Let me just put this on the sidewalk

westminster

A reader sent us this photo showing snow piled up (from the street, maybe the parking lot) on the sidewalk along Westminster Street near the Service Road. This photo was from yesterday afternoon, but our reader says it was still there in all its glory this morning.

This is right where high speed traffic coming off the Service Road whips through the right turn lane, drivers looking left to see if they can merge without stopping, not looking right to see if a person has been forced into the roadway by a glacier.

  • I was bathed in its glory yet again on the walk home, unsurprisingly. I doubt it’s going anywhere.
