WDT: Progress Continues on Parks Remake

     In a memo to Council, the City Manager has outlined new protocols for reserving and using City recreation facilities, addressing many issues that came up during the past year.  Council will have to take a look at fee changes proposed, but it's the protocols that are of more interest to me and the clarity that is evolving on issues like alcohol sales.
      As a new Parks and Recreation Superintendent and a program manager come on board, the operation of the department should continue to improve.
      Some things have already been improved.
      It was a busy weekend for city firefighters as they battled an apartment house fire on Winslow Street, with no injuries reported. And today my street got a second pass by the street sweeper, although it looks like the summer-like weather is giving way to seasonal weather for a few days.

Sounds like Watertown is full of unsung heros. First a guy saves his dog's life by killing a killer dog with his onw hands. Now a tenant tackles a wacko neighbor and helps evacuate a building going up in flames.

Second time for the street sweeper to go down your street this spring, on a Sunday morning yet, c'mon, you must know somebody.
