Stephen Walsh photographs a bad accident around 12:30 p.m. today on Corey Road.

Ross Levanto, who lives on Beacon Hill, reports that having the city pick up trash three times a week isn't all it's cut out to be:

The problem is three days of trash pick up means crap is on the side of the street for 42 hours a week. That is one fourth of the week. No joke. Trash is on the street curbs roughly one-quarter of every week on tony Beacon Hill. We have tried to address this issue as a community by shortening the amount of time one can place trash on the curb (what's called same-day pick-up). The problem is this really doesn't give much time for residents to put trash out. The Beacon Hill Civic Association, of which I am a board member, supports same-day pick-up, but we are also trying to move the start of trash pick-up on the hill to 9 a.m. in the morning to give residents two more hours.

His proposal? Cut pickup to just twice a week. He adds he'd also like to give Councilor Linehan a whatfor for his proposal to stop towing cars on street-sweeping days. On Beacon Hill, the threat of towing is the only thing that gets the street cleared for the sweepers.
