Natick DPW Launches Paving on Nokomis Way and Arrow Path
DPW crews are finishing Nokomis Way and paving Arrow Path today before starting work in the Algonquian neighborhood, where paving continues Tuesday and Wednesday until complete. All milling in town was finished as of Sept. 11; once Wednesday's paving wraps, the large-scale milling and paving is done, though loam and seed, wheelchair ramp patching, and top-course work on some sidewalks and driveways remain. Trash and recycling pickup will still happen in neighborhoods being paved, but crews start at 7 a.m., so barrels need to be out before then.
