Don’t ask there is only one Borough now it’s call Manhattan.

I want a refund on my property taxes for services that were not provided.
Take it out of your Billions you have.

It’s time Mr. Bloomberg to give up your post, or you should be impeached. Enough is enough

At 8:40 AM on Wendsday, December 29, America was discovered – that is the first DSNY plow came through 78 St bet 18 & 19 aves in Brooklyn since Sunday’s storm, nearly 4 days later. It rolled through the block with a plow raised at least 2-3 feet over ground, barely touching any snow. It did appear to get stock in it’s own tracks several times, but pushed on and left. And now I wonder – why? All this hard work showing up on an impassible block which now ever so miraculously remains impassible? Hey, let’s buy these fellas lots and lots of lube – may this dry jerk end for them!

Does anyone remember the ice storm we had March 2, 2009? If the city streets would have been salted, there would not have been a problem the following day. However, there was a thick ice sheet on the streets, and a lot of careless driver in a rush causing accident after accident. I am certain nobody complained about that day because the streets were not blocked. Take a toy away from a child and they will cry…very loud. Since people cannot get to where they want, the way they want to get there; now they are crying about the street conditions.

Hello out there…the Rockaways are not just for surfing…no trains, no buses, no plows…we can’t leave our homes….is anyone listening? Send plows, thanks!

A plow just came through 85 Drive in Briarwood..I called the NYPD as it must have been stolen.

Unbelievable! As of Wednesday 7:30am the North bound entrance ramp to the Hutchinson River Parkway in Co Op City, has still not been plowed! I helped an elderly man dig his car out of the snow when he got stuck trying to get on the Northbound Hutch. I couldn’t stop the car that entered highway going the wrong way! What reason could there be for such disregard of our community? King Mike you should step down. I regret you being our mayor.

Mark excellent point and also the truth…………..this has to be a slowdown by the Department of sSitation but Bloomberg will not admit it….Why isn’t the media bringing this up????????????

I live in the midwood section of Brooklyn on East 16th street between I and J. Thought I had great access to public transportation but what a mistake. I have access tothe B and Q trains, but they are suspended. Have access to B11 ab=nd B6 buses, but suspended as well. same for express buses BM1 and BM3. and my street was not plowed and can’t get car out of the garage. 3rd day in a row and cannot get to work. Irony is I work for the city and will probably not get paid either. Why are the trains not working? it is 37 degrees? When is the MTA expecting to get these trains going?

It’s Wednesday morning, and still not a single plow has come down 86th Avenue in Richmond Hill, Queens. No plows down any of the side streets either, 104th and 105th Streets are still completely blocked. The only sound we heard all night long were spinning tires for all the cars that got stuck. My sister-in-law was able to drive to Long Island from Boston yesterday, and we still can’t get out of our driveway. This is an embarrassment.

We live in the Midwood section of Brooklyn, East 7th St. Between Ave I & J. We have’nt seen a plow since Sunday. The mayor lays blame to the people for slowings things down. He should be ashamed of himself. His arrogance and lofty attitude are disgusting.

Woohaven, I live on 88th Road between 80 street and 85 street in Woohaven Queens no plow truck since Sunday when snow fall, up to today the street still
over 2 feet of snow and no car can pass by, no mail delivery. I unable go to work because of the mess.
How long we have to wait for flow truck, please help…..

How much help would the reported $800 million that Mayor Bloomberg blew on his “City Time” fiasco have been if some of it could have been put toward emergency response and snow removal activity rather than into the pockets of of wealthy associates?

Mayor Bloomberg claims the city did everything that could be done? Not even close: A snow emergency should have been declared PRIOR to the start of the storm which would take all but essential vehicles off the road. A request should have been made for the National Guard to pre-position at firehouses & EMS stations with personnel, 4-wheel drive trucks, military ambulances & snow removal equipment prior to the start of the storm. A partial re-call of off duty Firefighters not only to add a 5th Firefighter to all Engine Co.’s but to also staff and place into service all of the ‘Reserve” fire apparatus which would have increased emergency response capability. A 3rd E.M.T. & shovels should have been assigned to every ambulance in the F.D.N.Y. system. National Guard units should have been assigned to assist the response of ambulances & fire department units to life threatening emergencies. The mayor dropped the ball and I suspect a big part of it was the result of an out of touch, Corporate CEO type personality who is in over his head when it comes to preparing for and dealing with a major emergency. No one is blaming the snow, just acknowledging the old saying, “Fail to prepare, prepare to fail!”. Unfortunately, in this case failing meant many people suffered, some died and some lost their homes. You failed Mayor Bloomberg it’s time to own up to it, the buck stops with you.

Totally ridiculous…

Anyone whose cars got damaged due to the poor snow removal response should nbill NYC

The Good Samaritan has spoken.

There are no cut backs, DSNY just hasn’t hired anyone in over three years so you have a work force operating at half strength, maybe if the Mayor spent our tax dollars on things we need instead of bike lanes and cafes in Times Square we would be able to get to work but I honestly don’t think he cares. Haven’t seen a plow in Maspeth since Sunday.

I live at 831 Gerard Ave, Bronx, NY I am between 158th & 161st Street, 2 blocks from the Courthouse and I guess we don’t exists. There are several disabled or semi-disabled people in my building including me

Red Hook, Brooklyn-Still no Bus service!! Day 3 and things don’t look good. What’s gong on. Did Bloomberg and the sanitation dept forget that people need to get to work.

Hahahah I made a killing these last 3 days plowing the streets of the outer boroughs. Been making over a grand a day. People are paying $50 to plow their car out. Thanks mayor Mike

My Brooklyn neighborhood (Pine Street) has not seen a plow since the snow fall, guess my tax doesn’t count or may be we should just change all the monkeys in power and put people who could actually think like business man.

How comedic it is to see a New Yorker complain.You expect miracles to happen on a shoe-string and fragile budget. The city needs to start contracting out some of its seasonal services. Then you’ll see how quickly snow removal can be performed.

109th Street at the intersection of Myrtle Avenue and Park Lane South is another forgotten area. We have not seen a plow.

Does Southeast Queens exist to anyone? Ridgewood and Queens Blvd do not make up the borough of Queens. When will the plows get to Rochdale Village circles, Bedell Street, Springfield Blvd, Linden Blvd, etc? This Mayor needs to be impeached!! What happened to all that overtime money we paid to the sanitation department to be on alert for 12 hour shifts before the storm started? What happened to the pretreatment salt process???? WE NEED HELP IN SOUTHEAST QUEENS. We have had no mail delivery for 2 days. The postman is supposed to come whether it is rain or shine/ snow, sleet or hale. How did they get 2 snow days?????

I saw your report on middle village this morning. I would like to let you know that on 84th place we still have yet to see a plow. all the streets around this hill are blocked. I had to walk 9 blocks to get groceries yesterday. my suggestion would be to to get all the indoor malls in the area to offer free overnite parking so these streets could get cleared

I want to know if this was a deliberate slowdown by the union members of the Department of Sanitation. If it was, then they should be sued on behalf of all the residents of Brooklyn, Queens, and Staten Island. If they threw a hissy fit because of cutbacks and put us in danger in case of medical emergencies or unable to get to our jobs, then NY’s Strongest deserve to lose their jobs and then some.

Come on, news media. Do your jobs! Was this a deliberate slowdown by the Department of Sanitation? We, the taxpayers (who pay their salaries), have the right to know.
