Description

WHAT'S HAPPENED TO THE PLAN TO CLEAR THE SNOW FROM THE ODD NUMBERED SIDE OF THE STREETS? WE'VE BEEN PARKING ON THE EVEN SIDE SINCE WEDNESDAY NIGHT. IT'S NOW SATURDAY AFTERNOON AND THE STREETS IN EAST ROCK HAVE NOT SEEN ANY PLOWS, PAYLOADERS OR DUMP TRUCKS. CAN WE GET AN UPDATE FROM THE CITY? ARE WE GOING TO HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL NEXT WEEK, AFTER PRESIDENT'S DAY, TO SEE ANY IMPROVEMENT ON THE NARROW RIBBON OF PLOWED STREET WE HAVE HERE ON LINDEN STREET (AND MANY OTHERS)?

They finally came during the night on Canner to clear the odd side. The even side is a mess and was hoping that would get cleared too because there weren't any cars parked on that side. No such luck. Tuesday will be interesting when school is back in session. I don't know how the school buses are going to get by as well as the Yale shuttle. I may just sit on my porch and enjoy the show or help direct traffic. Hooker school doesn't have a parking lot I don't know where the teachers are going to park. Not to mention the poor visibility at the corner of Canner and Orange. I feel your pain and hope the city can at least get their plows to clear more of this snow. Good luck.

Turns out east rock is screwed since they are officially done with snow removal.

A neighbor of mine who hadn't yet heard about the ban had his car towed on Wednesday. I feel really badly that he had to pay the big fine only to still have mountains of snow on our street days later. Doesn't seem fair to tow cars when there is no intention of plowing.

I agree. I'm on Bradley St and that still hasn't been touched. No tow trucks, nothing. I believe cars should be towed when there is a ban, but seems pointless to enforce this parking ban when it's not followed up with the snow removal it was put in place for.

The only streets I saw cleared were Canner St, Willow St, Livingston (but with a dangerous pile at the corner) Orange St (with many dangerous piles left at corners) and Humphrey St from Whitney to Pleasant. Pleasant to State was not touched, and a giant mountain that narrow Humphrey to one lane at the church near the gas station was left untouched. That Willow and Orange were cleared for obvious reasons - main roads with high use. But I wonder how the other streets were selected? And why so many others completely ignored...

Parking is still abysmal on Linden St. between Livingston & Whitney Ave. I thought the point of moving all cars to the even side was to get the odd side of the street plowed to allow parking on the street.
