When they start to clean up roads from snow (property taxes, professionals)

[Mulana]

Here we go. Arctic vortex have reached NorthWest. And city authorities do not care a damn about cleaning up roads from snow. Even if the main streets are cleared somehow, the small ones are absolutely ignored. Is somebody tried to reach SDOT about that?

That's ridiculous. If anything they should just key in on the hilly streets. If they dont have the equipment, there's a ton of people that have trucks and plows that plow for money.

Too many cars parked on the curb.

Why not? Hilly streets residents pay property taxes and other taxes too.

Our cities don't have huge fleets of snow removal machines, nor should they. Snow here is short term. The main roads get done... don't count on it in secondary areas. Stock up, hunker down, and wait it out.

Called them. They put our street on queue. Probably will never come up.

We don't have a lot of snow plows here. We don't get snow often enough to justify the purchase.

Just keep it quite and pay your taxes... conditions like this must be eye puller for how local state professionals manage our tax money - expertwastly

You don't budget for major snowfall events when they rarely occur.

Further, this is not part of the "Polar Vortex". It is a normal pattern that occurs every 3-5 years from the Fraser Valley in British Columbia.

Put your boots on and walk to the nearest bus stop on a plowed street. Think twice before you vote against the next transit measure because you think you won't need it.
