We are almost back to normal...but for the snow all over the alley from neighbors who cleaned their yards, roofs and cars by throwing snow into the alley. nobodyhomeherehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15899486325000898336noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17267242.post-21708935945232444962016-01-26T15:17:13.720-05:002016-01-26T15:17:13.720-05:00To the point of starting a collection for alley sn...To the point of starting a collection for alley snow removal: Bloomingdale Civic Association may want to look at building up an alley snow cleanup fund. Not practicable to be of use in time for cleanup of this storm, as research would be needed in scope of costs (could be prohibitive or not, I have no idea), along with formal consent of members and shared understanding of the covered alleys. But it could provide a comprehensive way to deal with this, and better purchasing power than individuals or blocks on their own. <br /><br />Of course, all this is being an unfortunate if possibly realistic substitute for getting a change in the ridiculous no-plowing alleys policy (particularly when they are quasi thoroughfares as now).Alexandra in Bloomingdalehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07469404176040809515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17267242.post-21724117543350155732016-01-26T12:05:29.745-05:002016-01-26T12:05:29.745-05:00Bloomingdale Ct has been on the official plowing s...Bloomingdale Ct has been on the official plowing schedule and street sweeping schedule since Mayor Gray came in person to our street naming ceremony 6+ years ago. We have never actually been plowed or swept, mind you, but we are on the schedule. Needless to say, DC has some deep-seeded issues when it comes to providing city services.Lindseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05749657271999968401noreply@blogger.com
