[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The sidewalks were cleared by the property owners, not the city. DCPS has cleared the sidewalks around the public schools. The city has cleared Connecticut, Wisconsin, and Massachusetts because they are major north-south arteries into and out of the city. I would guess that 16th Street and Georgia Avenue have likewise been cleared as a priority. It is not true that all of the side streets were cleared yesterday. Our street off Connecticut had one lane passably cleared for one block by our apartment management so that the driveway, garage, and parking lot were accessible. [/quote]

This is progress.  When our son started at DCPS, they used to depend on parent volunteers to clear the school sidewalks of snow because the custodians union had decided that wasn't within their job responsibility.  Fortunately Michelle Rhee took them to the woodshed for an attitude adjustment,[/quote]

DGS is responsible for clearing and salting school sidewalks and parking lots after major snow events.  Janitorial staff may or may not clear areas of the playground.  [/quote]

"May or may not clear"?!?!

Sounds like we need to get Rhee back here with her big broom, to fire some more lazy DCPS staff![/quote]
