Snow plow street damage at street drain
Snow plow street damage at street drain
After the snow storm two weeks ago, the street in front of my house was cleared, but not the dead end part of Brookside Drive that is beside my house. I e-mailed Joe Van Deventer, Director of Street Operations, to ask if that was an error or a new policy. I received no reply. I need to know the answer, so that I can attempt to reverse the policy if the policy for clearing snow from dead end streets has changed. As you can see in the satellite photo, I was forced to hand shovel 40 yards of Brookside Dr. to "get out" even 2-3 days after the snow storm.
I spend multiple hours over multiple days clearing the piles of snow that were plowed into my driveway by the City plows in my cul de sac. Yesterday, I had cleared it all. Then, a plow came and blocked half of my driveway again while also fully covering my mailbox as to be completely inaccessible. The end of my street would have been in better condition if it had never been plowed. If the drivers are unwilling or unable to move the snow into the areas between houses, then why bother doing it at all? I'm only requesting some common sense here. I appreciate the road crews, but if the turning radius is too tight for the plow to even function, then maybe only plow the straightaways.
Hello -- Dunn Street (as it intersects Dodds street) needs snow plowed. It is Dunn street beside 434 E Dodds st, as shown in the map above.
The side of S. Park Avenue that lead up to the dead end does not get plowed or salted, making it extremely difficult to get out of our driveway, especially in this deep snow. This is very upsetting because I have now felt unsafe leaving my house due to this problem for the past 4 days. Unacceptable.
This cul-du-sac is horrible when it snows we have elderly, autistic child and people with learning disabilities and their care takers in the area and cars get stuck and block getting in and out and emergency crews can't get in. I understand its not a priority to the county, but when we get this type of heavy amounts of snow at least making a trip or two to make it passable to get out for work or other matters of necessity.
North Washington Street has not been plowed once in the past month. When we had 1 foot of snow on Monday snow plows never came. Just yesterday I had to push 4 different cars that got stuck on the street and now today it is snowing more. I can't make it to the end of the street to my house. Please come plow the part of N Washington that is a dead end south of 19th street.
The hill coming up Deborah Drive is very slick and heavy with snow. Schmalz Rd. also is in great need of snow plow removal. Thank you!
It has been over 2 days since the snow storm and our street is still not plowed. Our cars are getting stuck and the conditions are significantly worse on 11th and grant than on other surrounding streets. Please send the plows.
N/S alley between Washington, walnut, 10th and Cottage Grove. I know you are swamped, but when you get down to alley snow removal, would love to be on the list! Thank you!
