It Has Come to This: Mapping Snow Removal

A reader dropped a line to say he’d set up a map where anyone can type in whether or not a block has been plowed yet. Check it out here and add your own notes. As of the writing of this post, the handful of “failure to remove snow” tags were in or around the Slope. For example, one reads: “Garfield Place impassable.” As City Room reported a couple hours ago, the mayor is saying that it will probably take another day for all the city’s streets to be plowed.

They should tie Bloombags to the frontg of one of those trucks and drag his face through the streets. Maybe he’ll swallow some of the garbage that is fermenting under all that snow and have a crude awakening.

Franklin Ave and St Johns Pl, a Sanitation plow has been stuck since early this morning. Yesterday no plows came through at all. EPIC FAIL MR BLOOMBERG!!!!
Luckily, it’s 40 degrees outside. The snow will melt before Sanitation clears the five boroughs. Bloomberg has no excuse – they should have been out in full force during the storm. Lucky for NYPD that there were not a lot of fires to fight.
Willow Street and a few others in the Heights have now been plowed.
Anybody know if Lafayette Avenue has been cleaned up enough to allow the B38 through? thanks!
My street – Lefferts Ave between Rogers and Nostrand – has been plowed numerous times, even though very few others in the neighborhood have been touched. One of my neighbors must have a City Hall connection.
Bensonhurst is horrible. There was 1 plow in all this time and it had swirved out of control on Benson Ave and hit a parked car. The plow then sat there for over 15 hours.
None of our streets have been plowed as of yet. Our Mayor has failed out City.
Not just Park Slope. Cobble Hill and Carroll Gardens are both a mess. Our street – Kane Street – is not only not plowed, but it has been plowed in at the head-end on Court Street. Of course, people have been trying to maneuver through it and there are now several stuck vehicles.
