DIstrict 4 Mass DOT

  I have finally connected with the right person in the Massachusetts Department of Transportation who is responsible for picking up the trash on 128 in Essex County!   Peter Collette is the man any of you can call to suggest and or complain with grace that the trash needs to be retrieved.  His number is 781-641-8406.  He is understaffed but I thought we could come up with creative ways to help the situation on the North Shore and improve the health and the looks of the median strip and sides of the highway since it is looking ugly these days.  We need to get the police, either local or state,  to start issuing fines  and  earmarking this money to pay for more time along the highway for trash removal.
