Description
Need to prohibit/limit on street parking between Burdett Avenue and Orchard Avenue until snow is completely cleared. This two way street cannot accommodate two lane travel with the cars parked on the street.

I hope you are a home owner, because the taxes that you pay do NOT cover this! Just another thing your taxes do not pay for! It pays for the city hall to be demolished even though there is nothing wrong with it!

The DPW guys need to bring that big loud sidewalk snowblower from the 1970's over and REMOVE the snow.
I think I understand why Troy doesn't do more snow removal. The antiquated equipment they are forced to use is 4 decades old or older! It can't be very nice piloting that big loud hunk of junk around the city.
Didn't the city council recently try to spend $250k of tax payer money on a firetruck that the fire department said they didn't even need or ask for? The money was to come out of the rainy day fund.
The city council should allocate the funds for something that IS really needed... brand new snow removal equipment. Maybe then, the DPW wouldn't need to have their arm twisted before they removed some snow in the city?

the city is a joke~~~face it!!!
they will tow your car and not even "clean" the streets
looks like we all just have to wait til it melts
I think that we should all just throw it in the road, and then
they will have to do something about it
OH yeah, and push your mirrors back, they are broken all over town!!!

Mary my van was hit and my other vhicles mirror was smashed right off. In both instances, I was park IN the snowbank. Both vehicles are 4 wheel drive so I can actually drive them in to the snowbank.
The streets were so narrow due to all the snow that the city didn't remove... cars all over troy got damaged.
I think Troy should man-up and pay for all these broken mirrors and crashed cars that were legally parked when hit.

Mary I agree. I moved my vehicles for the voluntary snow emergency but no one else seemed to. The city needs to enact a snow emergency and tow cars so they can remove snow.
I read in the times union a couple days ago that Troy was taking bids from contractors for snow removal on its streets. I'm kind of surprised they didn't take bids BEFORE all this snow came!
Talk about locking the barn door AFTER the horses get out.
Any idea what stage the bidding process is in now?
Here's the story

now you are getting it
I like the analogy of locking the barn after the horses are out
this is the way troy does things, nothing like being a dollar short and a day late!!!
way to go troy!
should the people who have to walk in the road get hit by cars because the side walks are not
clear
yes, it is up to the homeowners to clear in front of their homes, but what about all the city owned properties??? who is getting rid of that snow? no one!
