Matthew 23:13 Hypocrites at City Hall
Recently, Eugene Hayes (at Watertown's DPW), issued a statement regarding the sidewalk shovelling ordinance for the city. What I found truly ironic about his public chastisement of those who don't keep their sidewalks clean is the "advice" that snow not be deposited in the streets.
Woe to the DPW! Would that they follow their leaders advice and not deposit snow on those sidewalks that those of us who are law abiding citizens attempt to keep shovelled (despite the incursions of the plow crews that seem to take a perverse delight in using the "wings" of the plow trucks to deposit enough snow to refill the pathways that we have put in sweat equity to clear).
Mr. Hayes - if you want the walks to be shovelled and kept clear, without the snow being deposited in the roadways, make sure that your plow crews use an appropriately reciprocal policy and practice respect for those who attempt to comply with your request.
DO NOT allow your crews to use the wings to backfill the sidewalks that have been cleaned.
Let's use a little common courtesy.

How true, I cleaned a parking lot and if the view of my own eyes a plow truck purposely winged the top a snow bank and fill in my freshly cleaned parking lot, I am not a person to plow into the street out of courtesy and the law, at that point I said the heck with it and pushed it back so they could have fun plowing it again. Needless to say I was pi$$ed.
