The thing about asking alot of questions, is that when it works right, you get answers. But then, you have to figure out what to do with the answers. One of the questions I recently asked, but didn’t know what to do with the answers was, what are the priority snow clearing areas for pedestrians. These priorities are supposed to be in high traffic areas and where people with disabilities live. Unfortunately, even when people get their walks cleared, if the snow plows go by and plow the snow in the street at the end of the block, people in wheelchairs can get trapped on the block and need to rely on a cleared driveway and go in the street to get off of the block. So, without further adieu, here are the lists of the priority areas.
These are the areas where they know that there are people with special needs:
1. Park St. – By Kohl’s Food Store (mid block) cross over on center median.
