While
plows have come through large parts of the city, one area in the Bronx appears
to be in need of some extra addition.
Piles of snow remain in the middle of the streets on Wallace Avenue at the
intersection with Boston Road in Allerton.
Rep. Ydanis Rodriguez tweeted a video of the street.
He says he believes
the city is
doing a great job overall, but needs to do better in underserved areas.
Residents say the streets could have been cleaned better.
Department of Sanitation Communications Director Belinda Mager released a
statement, responding to the councilman’s call for action.
“The city was hit with a very large and challenging storm and the total cleanup
will take some time,” Mager says. “Our workers are still on 12-hour shifts, and
our salt spreaders and plows are still working across the city. Today, they
will pay special attention to widen streets, residential streets and bike
lanes. Additional, we have employed snow laborers to help shovel snow from
areas such as crosswalks, bus stops, step streets and fire hydrants. As always,
business and property owners are responsible for cleaning a path on the
sidewalk.”
