CITY OF CHICAGO REVERSES SNOW PLOWING DECISION
In early December, the City of Chicago announced plans that it would be cutting back on plowing the city's streets, especially the side streets, in an effort to save money and decrease the amount paid in overtime.
This change in plans is a victory in favor of public safety. "This was public safety, and we screwed up bad," said Ald. Thomas Allen (38th), Transportation Committee chairman. " I'm not criticizing the attempt to make a change, but the attempt was a big flop, and now we are back to reality."
Neglecting to remove the snow is a recipe for disaster. Even when the roads are plowed and salted, snowy weather conditions can wreak havoc for motorists. This morning's snowfall caused a number of crashes on area expressways. Numerous crashes were reported on the Kennedy, Stevenson and Eisenhower Expressways. In northwest Indiana, state police said there were several crashes along Interstate Highway 65 in Newton and Jasper Counties.
