[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For all those saying the streets are a mess because there was sleet - that is a partial truth.

There is so much the city could have still done and did not.

They could have proactively salted all residential streets. I’m in the palisades and our roads were not pre-salted. Not a single plow came down our block, or multiple others in our neighborhood and in AU park on Sunday. Monday afternoon a plow finally tried to come through. We live on a hill and the plow did 1/3rd of the incline ascending, then backed up and left. Another plow never came again. So our street was never pre-salted, and only partially plowed. We live one block off a major throughfare. The dc plow tracker was then updated to our street having been plowed - false.

This was just abysmal planning and management.

Come snow then spend then whatever, if all roads had been presalted and plows had been running continuously and the plow tracker had been updated truthfully, then the city would have better awareness of the conditions and residents would have more accessibility. [/quote]

It is too cold to presalt. [/quote]
