[quote=Anonymous]In my neighborhood, it's more of a traffic flow control issue than a safety issue at this point.

All the roads through our neighborhood have a lane cleared / plowed ... but for many of them, it's a single lane, with thick snow/ice banks on both sides. No way for two cars going opposite directions to get past each other - one would have to pull into a cleared driveway or intersection. It would be a traffic nightmare around the schools. I'm not even sure a bus would fit around the corners between snow banks.

And there is no street parking. Most people here have driveways for their cars, so nobody is clearing out the street parking.  The parking lots for our schools aren't big enough for all of the employees, so on a normal school day there's a lot of parking in the surrounding neighborhood. I don't know where they'd go.

I drove to my office today and the roads were fine, but I wouldn't want to be anywhere near the schools during drop off or pick up.  The problem is, I also don't know when that can be fixed. Hopefully they can use the next few days to plow out wider lanes, but it's not going to melt off anytime soon. [/quote]
