Wayland Highway Director: 'Please, No Cars on the Street'
Wayland Highway Director Stephen Kadlik said his crews are ready, but he needs Wayland residents to do their part.
Stephen Kadlik was working for the Wayland Parks Department when the blizzard of '78 struck. He spent an entire week clearing Stonebridge Road.
Things are a bit different now as Winter Storm Nemo, a potential blizzard, bears down on Wayland.
"The biggest differences between the two is better weather reporting and better equipment," said Kadlik, now Wayland's Highway Department director. "The biggest thing is to stay on top of it."

Kadlik said that his crews do need residents' help to keep up with the storm.
“Everybody get home safely," Kadlik said, "and once the thing starts hitting, stay out of our way.
"Please no cars on the street. One car in the roadway, absolutely messes our guys up."
