What is the sense of having plows in quiet neighborhoods at bedtime, and plows blocking traffic during rush hour on a Tuesday morning? When driving home, the Mass Ave plows were blocking traffic in the outbound lanes. If this is not the epitome of inefficiency, I don't know what is. It's as if someone ordered the plows to do the exact opposite of common sense.
Whomever is coordinating this effort--if anyone is--must be truly stupid or completely clueless about DC traffic patterns.
I can only imagine the diplomats on Mass Ave shaking their heads at the failure of the US education system. We are a capitol city run by idiots. Why did we vote for them?!?

So the city can't plow at night, and it can't plow during the day. Are you sure you understand what you want?

Are you a DC government worker? Does someone need to spell this out to you?

When are they allowed to plow?

They should have been plowing 24 hours a day beginning last Sunday. I don't think a single plow ever came to our street.

That would keep people up at night.

Maybe, but 1) people would be glad to see the snowcrete cleared ASAP; and 2) they're keeping people up at night anyway because the city has apparently decided to plow in residential areas late at night (instead of downtown).

And where are the screeching children we call our city council? It's like the entire DC government has been AWOL.

I demand to know why our councilmember isn't doing something about this. It's like they don't care!

It's weird that some people defend the city here. The DC government's reaction to the snow has been a failure in almost every conceivable way.

Specifically, the mayor. It's the mayor's job to run city services. It's weird when people blame council members because the mayor executed something poorly.

They are all responsible. The Mayor and her team, and the elected Councilpeople who are supposed to be representing us and keeping the city accountable. In our case, neither our Mayor nor our Councilwoman (Nadeau) are running for reelection so you can imagine exactly how motivated they are to solve this problem.

JLG seems determined to avoid any responsibility. Lovely way to start your mayoral campaign.

Very good point. How our candidates respond to the handling of this particular emergency can give us a good idea of whether or not they have the analysis skills or vision to lead the city well in the future.
