That bumpy ride between the Liberty Tree Mall area and the Northshore Mall should be getting a lot smoother in the coming weeks.
The city of Peabody says public works crews will be milling its side of Sylvan Street from the intersection with Route 114 to the intersection with Endicott Street on Monday, Aug. 5 in preparation for paving.
