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.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>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.</DIV>

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. <BR><BR><BR>

<DIV>The town of Riverdale Park amounts to more than one or two streets. It's great that some received this service, but there does not seem to be a consistant plan for the entire town.</DIV>
<DIV> We all pay the same taxes and deserve the same services no matter what part of Riverdale Park we live in be that Mason Hill, Old Town or the apartments etc... .</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>As good citizens, in these emergancy situations we should be concerned for the entire town, not just the satisfaction of our own selves.<BR></DIV>
