Which is the Scariest Street to Drive on in Watertown?

Spring Street has had a couple of serious accidents recently, but other streets can be tricky to drive on. Which do you think is the worst?

Town Councilor Tony Palomba arrived late to Tuesday's budget hearing because he was delayed by a serious accident on Spring Street at Palfrey Street. Councilor Susan Falkoff said she spoke recently with a resident who got into a bad accident just a block down the same street at Marshall Street, recently.

Spring Street comes off Main Street near Watertown Square and can be treacherous, but is it the scariest one to drive on in town?

Police Chief Edward Deveau told the Town Council that residents of various streets in town complain about traffic or the speed of drivers on their street.

"We are always looking a that," Deveau said. "There is a lot of congestion in town and a lot of people using the back streets as cut throughs."

Deveau noted that four years ago the Watertown Police had four officers assigned to traffic duty, but now they have just two. That has impacted the ability to respond to such complaints.
