[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They should have been working on this all of last week. Clown behavior. [/quote]

We don’t have the number of trucks and amount of equipment to handle major snow events. We normally don’t need that much so they don’t buy it. It is expensive and then it has to be stored and maintained to be used maybe once every 5 years. The equipment that the county has handles a normal storm pretty well. The equipment needed to handle snowmagedden or this last mess would be very expensive to purchase.

They were clearing what they could, they just didn’t have enough of the right equipment to handle the icy mess that we got.

And the population didn’t help by not shoveling their sidewalks. VDOT is responsible for the streets, individuals and businesses are responsible for their sidewalks. People decided that it was too hard to dig out so they did their driveways and that is it. The cleanest driveways and the like in my neighborhood paid around $85 to get their driveways and sidewalks done. The people who did it on their own have ice shelfs at the end of the drive way and maybe half a sidewalk done.

I am annoyed that they have not busted out lots of sand to sand down the streets and the sidewalks but then that means the COunty has to buy the sand, I think they buy salt and that would take time and need storage spaces.[/quote]

They haven’t had plows out since early last week. Total clown behavior. [/quote]
