The City of Westfield has been undergoing a massive amount of park and road improvements that have created some challenges for residents as we encounter traffic delays in seemingly every part of town.

There is much progress being made, however, and some very good news on the near horizon.

Firstly, the paving of Main Street is moving right along and will soon be complete. But here is the big news that I found most exciting:

”

Great River Bridge Project:

The contractor laying pavement on the bridge deck.  They are continuing on a plan to begin traffic flow going southbound on the renovated bridge during Thanksgiving week – weather permitting.

As a reminder this is a State funded/State controlled project and we are gathering information and moving it out to you as it becomes available.”

Can you believe it folks?  We will soon be able to use both bridges…yippee!

The City of Westfield has a wonderful page that provides weekly construction and traffic updates.

The New Rocky’s Ace Hardware In Westfield, MA

Have you been wondering what they are building behind Rocky’s Ace Hardware on Main and Free Streets in Westfield, MA?   

Well, it is the NEW Rocky’s Ace Hardware!

I was told this week by an employee that they are hoping to be relocated by December 10th, 2011.  The current location will be razed and turned into a parking lot.  I took some pictures of the construction and architect’s sketches to help you visualize the end result:

Homeowners Insurance Information Following The Blizzard In Westfield, MA

I have been seeing a lot of questions on Facebook and hearing people ask questions on the radio about their losses. One question that kept coming up was, “Is there anyway to recoup the expense of the ruined food that I had to throw away?”

Since I know I threw out several hundreds of dollars worth of food myself, I figured this question would be one that many could use an answer to. I decided to reach out to my friend and insurance agent, Mary Benjamin of Roger Butler Insurance, for the answers.

I asked Mary about the the food loss as well as other homeowners insurance questions that might apply after a catastrophic weather event like the Blizzard of October in Westfield, MA.

To find out if you can get your food losses covered by your homeowners insurance and answers to other concerns that Westfield homeowners might have, watch this video:

Storm Aftermath…Westfield, MA Cleanup and Recovery From October Blizzard


As power returns to the City of Westfield there are some important reminders that the residents of Westfield, MA need to know.

Mayor Daniel M. Knapik has announced that the City of Westfield’s Twiss Street Transfer Station will be open to the public for the purpose of dropping off brush from the recent storm. Residents will need to present proof of residency in the form of a valid driver’s license or a tax or utility bill to gain access. The facility will accept brush from Friday, November 4 – Sunday November 6. Hours of operation: 7AM-5PM.

Westfield Gas and Electric reminds us:  We want to reiterate an important message to those of you who have had damage to customer-owned equipment: if the service cable from the street to your home has been damaged or pulled away from your home, a licensed electrician must reattach or repair it before we can come in and connect the lines to your home. Please view this image to help determine where damage has been done. By contacting an electrician as soon as possible, you will help to expedite the restoration to your home.

So, if the power is on to your neighbors, but not your house, you need to contact an electrician to restore the power to your house.

Please be careful when choosing a contractor to repair or clean up your home and property.  Unfortunately there are scam artists out there that are looking to take advantage of desperate homeowners in a time of need.  This article from necn.com has some important reminders.

I hope that you are warm and safe as we round the bend on the aftermath from this bizarre blizzard.  It is certainly one for the records when it is winter in the autumn and feels like spring before winter!
