Description
five calls have been made to the emergency operations center to get a timeline when the streets in this area are going to be plowed. they have no schedule from public works. it would seem that someone has a schedule of streets to be plowed and that it would be available to the city's spokes people. each call get a response to call back for a timeline. B.S.! the mayor and his new dpw director have failed this test. this is like Irene when people in the block of beacon ave were without electricity for seven days because ui forgot about us. coincidentally the lower half of beacon av was plowed the first morning by a Elm City Communities truck and that operator completely blocked beacon av from frost st with the leavings of his efforts, SO, where is a response from this city.

Roy, the city has no idea when that will happen. The National Guard is here because this is a national emergency.
This is a once in a century storm, and no one can possibly afford the cost of maintaining the infrastructure and salaries we would need to have the type of snow response some people are looking for. Once in a 100 years a storm like this happens.
I think at some point, people just have to accept being snowed in for a few days, and practice being patient.

Al, the supervisor was busy doing real work.
Do you know why it was hard to reach them? Because everyone in the city who woke up in their grumpy pants is calling.
Stop the kvetching. You aren't getting yourself to a better place, you're only being cranky and taking away from the time that our crews need to do the work.
I swear, I can't stand this constant chorus of, "COME PLOW COME PLOW" followed up by "THEY BLOCKED MY DRIVEWAY".
Folks, what do you THINK they will do with most of this snow? 3 feet! 3 feet and more in the streets! Where do you think they'll fit it all with GIANT machines, and irate, impatient, obnoxious people calling them every 30 minutes begging them to "hurry up"?
You can have a job done well, cheap, or fast: not all 3. Sometimes we have to be adults and spend an extra 30 minutes cleaning up after the plows.
Yea, it is hard work, so is clearing out cars for strangers you don't know when you don't even drive.
I am finding SCF to be incredibly frustrating. Please, try to limit yourself to asking for practical help or offering to help, and stop the general whiny-pants garbage.
