...admittedly but there are remedies for this. Many streets have vehicles on only one side for that matter, and in any case the corners, now flooded, are easily accessible to snow-removers at all times. Cambridge had better make at least a little effort or else--who knows?--the saga of inundated pedestrians may rate space in the Saturday Evening Post...
