[Massplanners] Unaccepted Streets

[Rob May]

Unfortunately, Brockton is in a slow but steady process of accepting older
private roads regardless of their condition or whether they were built to
city standards or not.  We mistakenly believe that the extra Chapter 90
funds will out way the cost of repair in the long run.

Politics.
