Snow plowing in residential areas

Where in MoCo are you?

Even if all streets were "treated" at least once, they are still impassable. The county states somewhere (maybe it was their website) that they are not plowing to pavement. Keep that in mind for the smaller streets.

If they dont plow so they dont wall you in, then you clowns would complain about the roads not being plowed. When they do plow, now you complain about the wall of snow.

Get over it. They obviously cannot plow every single house out. Deal with it. You should have been outside immediately shoveling out after they plowed in order to move the snow before it turned into a block of ice. Blame yourselves for being lazy.

Do you realize there are senior citizens who can not do that type of shoveling and lack of people willing to do so, get over your fck ING ignorance.

Plus the plows came here after midnight. I am 75.

Go on your neighborhood Facebook group or listserv. If you can’t find it, ask one of your neighbors if one exists and how to join. It’s the best way to find a local teenager or service to shovel you out.

Bingo. No concern with budgeting and providing the most basic services. Everyone gets re-elected anyhow. The worst.

Don't be so sure, it went by when you were snoring.

Exactly some super a-holes on here. My neighborhood is full of seniors who can't get to their medical appointments, groceries, and caretakers can't get to. F'in Elrich.

Amen. They all need to be thrown out. All. They wont be.

Still unplowed here! I agree-- this is an abomination.

I don't know what good a plow would even do. It's compacted ice at this point.

I’m so sorry for those who are still unplowed. Our first pass was yesterday afternoon. We dug ourselves out, and the plow came by this morning and plowed us in again. I give up!

Maybe that is a sign old folks need to downsize, duh. This is exactly why we have affordable housing crises. Boomers and older people keep hanging on and on and on to properties they can't even take care of, yet demand all sorts of tax breaks and/or grandfathered in tax rates not even in the realm of modern reality. Then when it shows, they complain about roads not being plowed. But when it is plowed now they complain about being plowed in and thr fact they're incapable of shoveling out.

Maybe they should rethink home ownership in the first place if they can't shovel out themsleves.

We live on a very small road off a main road into a neighborhood. The neighborhood was plowed earlier but in the middle of the night, we finally got plowed. It was so freaking loud it woke me and kept me up. But they did get through the compacted ice.
