[RP TownTalk] Cold weather workers?

Thu Feb 15 23:13:42 UTC 2007

Hello Riverdale Park-ers!

I was wondering if anyone out there knows of a public works person / trash collector who has one of those all-types-of-weather jobs? I'd like to write a story about such a person, especially with the chilly temps and snow. 

Thanks and stay warm!

	as a  pedestrian commuter (i live on Riverdale Rd, take the MARC to work) i
	can't  help but notice that Dumm's Corner has adopted the same technique in
	this  storm and the previous one: the front side by the entrances are shoveled
	but  not the Lafayette side, and not the Queensbury side of the property.  
	(couldn't help but think back to the discussions here about how they are so  much
	a part of the community...)
	Wuh-oh! Jimmy you better get Butch over there and get that taken care of. 
	The Peanut Gallery has you under a microscope now!

	i also just came back from the Giant on Kenilworth and noticed  pedestrians
	walking in the street on Riverdale Rd where the park is (between  the school
	and the river). the school's sidewalks are cleared, but the  sidewalk that runs
	along the park (of infamous reputation on this list as per  an earlier thread)
	hasn't been touched. is this the responsiblity of the town?  or MNCPP?
	LOL I love it! Who IS responsible for this? Perhaps because of that now 
	infamous list, is the reason that it hasn't been touched. EEEWWWWW!!!! Please 
	update us on this. I know that there is some watchdog somewhere willing to camp 
	out to see the result.

	Staying tuned,
	Jay Wright

	I'd like to relay a success story:

	Took my daughter and her friend to sled at the mansion today. I saw the (pickup) trucks clearing the street behind the mansion. I asked them to remember to come do our streets too. I mentioned that we had not had any treatment since late yesterday and the hill over here was trecherous! We over in the north west part of Riverdale PARK are often forgotten about entirely when it comes to some services.  I was pleased to see upon driving back into my part of Riverdale Park, that those gentlemen had already begun the work and were salting the street by the time I had gotten in the house and looked back outside!  You go Riverdale Public Works. Thank you!
