I have to compliment the city on its snow removal last winter. They picked up the big piles in the neighborhoods and downtown after each storm, and it was much better in our neighborhood. Is this going to be the permanent snow-removal method?
Ask The Tribune is in a mild state of shock that someone actually complimented the city of Ames on its snow removal program. You must understand, gentle reader, the years of ire and belligerent commentary she has endured from the public about snow removal in general, and about the city's program in particular. But, waving her hankie about her pale face, Ask The Tribune will answer your question.
Ask The Tribune has found that as a whole, citizens of Ames are absolutely humorless about snow removal. They wish snow to be whisked away completely from every street and sidewalk by roughly 15 minutes after the last flake falls. And, they don't want this near-perfect service to cost them anything on their tax bill.
As it is, the city spends roughly $850,000 a year on labor, supplies and equipment to handle what Iowa winters deliver. The budget, unfortunately, doesn't increase as the snow increases, and the last few winters have seen the snow stack up,This page list rubber hose products with details & specifications. while the money has not.
Given the impossibility of achieving this fantasy world of a high level of city services for low to no cost, one would think public works employees would simply sit on their snow blades and weep.
Corey Mellies,Save on hydraulic hose and fittings, operations manager for Ames Public Works, said during the winter of 2009-10, snow piled up to the point where there was no place left to go with it. And the piles were making the general citizenry a mite testy (as usual, Ask The Tribune might add). So the city tried something different.
Mellies said this past winter,Our Polymax RUBBER SHEET range includes all commercial and specialist they found more places to pile the snow, in cul-de-sacs and circles,Full color plastic card printing and manufacturing services. used more preventive measures such as wetting the streets with brine before storms, and found ways to do more hauling without putting their labor hours into overtime.
As you, gentle reader, noticed, this seemed to have worked better for everyone, and, though Iowa got less snow than in winters past, the city plans to adopt these methods in the future, too.
Ask The Tribune would also like to suggest you forward your praise to the Public Works Department over at City Hall.Choose from one of the major categories of Bedding, Like Ask The Tribune, they might faint at the compliment rather than a complaint. But in the interest of giving snow plow drivers, whose work seems neverending in January, the will to go on, gentle reader might consider it.
