I was about to write in that this was the most efficient handling of heavy snow I've ever seen the department work. Actually, I should have also written that for the ice storm last week.
What is that new blue salt they are using? It's different and really works on the streets. For the first time, I did not slide down the hill and thru the underpass from Stinson to East Hennepin. Trust me, it's a thrill you can do without. There was no ice there and none on the Washington Ave. overpass just off Cedar either. 'Swunnerful! Today, Saturday March 16 with my curbside parking on ban for the day, my street is plowed to the curb and, for the first time I can remember, the snowbirds were ticketed! Not towed, but at least ticketed. also, because of the ticket on the car in front of my house, the car got moved ahead of the plow and the plow driver had a good angle to approach my drive. I got less plow windrow snow blocking my drive than I can remember, soooo I am one happy snow-plow camper. I agree with Lisa that a heavy snow at this time of the year does not call for the same approach I'd want the division to take if the ice followed by 10" scenario happened in November or December. If it happened then, we'd have 4 months to live with the mess unless it was removed ASAP. Happening now, it just shouldn't qualify as a red-alert emergency. _______________________________________ Minneapolis Issues Forum - A Civil City Civic Discussion - Mn E-Democracy Post messages to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subscribe, Unsubscribe, Digest option, and more: http://e-democracy.org/mpls
