Strange that no notice was given at all for the road closing and incredibly intrusive milling process that went on from 8pm – 2 am last night, right next to the residential area east of Perkins. Does Watertown DPW have any idea what’s going on? I realize that this is a state DCR project, but Watertown must have had some notice!
Needless to say, this was a rude shock to our neighborhood and a very sleepless night for most of us!
