CLEVELAND — The City of Cleveland’s snowplow crews have turned their attention to the miles and miles of secondary and neighborhood streets after the recent winter storm. Coming less than three weeks after another storm prompted a review of the city’s snow removal plan, this week’s snowfall provides a litmus test for the tweaked plan.
Even as late as 5 o’clock on Friday evening, large swaths of Harsh’s ward as well as other parts of Old Brooklyn had not been plowed yet, according to neighbors and the city’s still-in-development snow plow tracker. The online tracker showed very little progress on secondary and neighborhood streets in both Ward 13 and Ward 12 between 10 o’clock Friday morning and 4 o’clock that afternoon.
“I think we need to look at how we outfit the city’s feet. I don’t know that buying more plows itself is the solution to the problem, because they only really work a few days out of the year. But maybe having more plows that we can put on city trucks could be an option,” Harsh said. “Maybe we need to think more sincerely about how we create the capacity to handle larger events like this.”
“Yes, it’s Ohio but it doesn’t make it any less frustrating,” Cogar said. “Just because I expect it doesn’t mean I like it.”
