Alley/snow

**tornado** · 02-16-2010, 04:30 AM

So my garage/driveway comes out of an alley that is used very often,we got 30 inches of snow and they plowed it with a backhoe once and now there is prolly about 6-8 inches there,i called the boro and asked if they could come out and make 1 more plow threw there,they said we will try,which means prolly not. Whats the next step??? Police? local newspaper? Peope get stuck tehre and ive had to help push them out,getting kinda old and tired of lazy boro workers.

Shovel?

You can't possibly expect them to be there at your beck and call for a situation that rarely happens. Suck it up and shovel yourself out. Get up a few hours before you have to work, put on some warm clothes and get to work. Been there, done that.

Do you agree that this is a unique situation this year with the snowfall you guys have gotten this year? By my estimation, it might even be a record year for snowfall. Does your area have the resources, people and equipment to respond to every single bitch/complaint/request? Do you guys think he's the first person to call in?

If the answer to these questions are 'no' - then I say, shovel it yourself and pitch in to help.

Get a larger vehicle if you live in an area where this weather occurs often and isn't reliably taken care of.

fuck no... i pay my god damn taxes and i expect shit like this to be taken care of... yes they have the resources to clean it... and hell fucking no will i chip in... if the IRS is over burdened will you go in ot their office and lend a hand??? of course he isn't the first person to call in to them... their lax responce was pathetic... they have dispatchers who can tell him "if we stay on our current route we should be out to your place on (what ever date spread) and untill then (gives some advice on how to go on with daily routines)...

Fair enough - then the boro "gets there when they get there". In the mean time, the OP can keep pushing out people getting stuck, keep bitching about it, and will get nowhere except pissed off.

Here in Chicago where we have great snow removal, the alleys are always last and some are not able to be done.
The problem with alleys is that in some of them you cant fit the equipment needed to get the snow out

Yeah, the single (out of the entire storm, lol) plow I saw down here seem really large and I could think of a few side streets in town that it wouldn't fit down.
