Thanks for reporting this. It sounds like many complaints were logged and the city needs a new approach next winter. Please open an issue again if plowing becomes an issue this winter.
Also, I believe that sidewalks need to be maintained much more carefully in the winter - in fact they should be maintained at least as well as the streets, since a very large proportion of people living in New Haven do not have the option of driving and need clear sidewalks in order to get to work, access bus stops, etc. This past winter, there were hundreds of injuries due to ice falls and children were being forced to walk in the middle of the streets like Whalley Ave. That's just unacceptable.
