Comments on: Mayor Gives Progress Report http://www.mayorcohen.com/2010/02/12/mayor-gives-progress-report/ The official blog of Josh Cohen, Mayor of the City of Annapolis Sat, 12 Nov 2011 21:19:07 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Vicky Thompson http://www.mayorcohen.com/2010/02/12/mayor-gives-progress-report/comment-page-2/#comment-401 Vicky Thompson Wed, 24 Feb 2010 16:35:03 +0000 http://www.mayorcohen.com/?p=64#comment-401 I moved here from Colorado a year ago. I understand Colorado is way more prepared for snow, but these storms were pretty ridiculous in the way they were taken care of. Why doesn't the city come up with a plan to have people park cars on one side of the street on even days and the other side of the street on odd days ? This would make it possible for the plows to come thru and clear the streets properly. The sidewalks out here are ridiculous and I can't believe how long it took for them to be cleared...there should be strict fines enforced to those that do not clear their sidewalk within 24 hours of a storm. The main roads were great the day after both storms but when you can't even get out of your street it doesn't help much. I moved here from Colorado a year ago.

We counted 14 trucks fitted with plows. All 14 of these trucks were sitting there, parked, doing nothing. There were several other trucks that we could not verify having plows attached. This is a fact, not an exaggeration. On Sunday morning 8:45am Feb 7, after the largest snowfall I walked by the Spa Road Public Works depot with a friend of mine.

They live at the corner of West and North Cherry Grove, where there is one of the few pedestrian crosswalks across West St. I use the bus stop in this block and must use this crosswalk daily, often when it is dark. If these neighbors hadn't cleared their sidewalk early and so well, this crossing would have been MUCH more dangerous as pedestrians would have been forced onto the edges of this busy (and narrow) stretch of West St. Thank you, 1400 West St! You are model citizens. I would like to commend the residents of 1400 West St for promptly clearing their sidewalks.
