Anchorage Mayor Dave Bronson said the new agreements mean up to 10 additional graders, 10 plow trucks and numerous dump trucks.
“Because we simply have no choice. And a lot of those problems are people moving their snow, their driveway snow, into the street,” Bronson said. Bronson said getting parked cars off the street will also help the snow removal effort. He expects busier roads to be cleared overnight, with snow removal resuming in residential streets Tuesday morning. The muni’s long-standing snow removal policy prioritizes the biggest streets first, and residential streets last, officials said.
“So those big plow trucks made it through our cul-de-sac and the kids in the neighborhood are playing in the big mountain of snow in the middle,” she said. “Hopefully, the roads will be – the major roads – will be cleared tomorrow and I can make it over there and fulfill my floral duties,” she said.
