[RP TownTalk] Why such poor snow removal?

[Melissa Avery]

Actually the main problem on our street was that the bridge was not salted. Also the snow plow did come through today, but they did not have the blade down low enough to remove any snow or ice. Also, they drove the truck straight down the street, even though ther were wide sections with no cars parked on either side of the road.

I think the public works should educate their employees in how to properly remove snow. It is a little more complicated than simply getting behind the wheel of a truck and going forward.

I think that section of Ravenswood Rd may have not been plowed because there are cars parked on both sides of the street due to the apartment building across from Mellisa's home.  I'm sure it would be difficult for the snow plow to pass between the cars.

>Well, being someone that was able to get out last evening, I can tell you that Riverdale is in better shape than a lot of other townships. Crofton, for one, is a wreck. 
>So kudos, to those who are working so hard to assist those that would throw stones at you for not doing it fast enough.
