Frustrated Residents: Bloomberg Broke Plow Promise

December 30, 2010

NEW YORK (CBS) The self-imposed deadline the city set to clear all streets of snow has

come and gone.

Facing a countless number of snow-covered streets and mounting criticism about its blizzard

response, the Bloomberg Administration was hustlingThursday to meet a self-imposed

deadline that was set to expire at 7 a.m., Jay Dow reports.

Many claimed that their streets are still blanketed by snowand that if they are clear, its

not thanks to the citys plows or Mayor Bloombergs promise but rather the streets

residents, who dug themselves outof the winter not-so-wonderland.

The Sanitation Department said it has met its goal, but conceded that they may have missed

some streetsand that they will get to plowing them as soon as possible.

I expect that we will have every street in New York City plowed. Will somebody find a street I

missed? Maybe, Mayor Bloomberg said. The mayor now admits the City could have done

better. We did not do as good a job as we wanted to do, or as the City has a right to expect.

That warningwas perhaps an acknowledgment of what residents said did not happen on so

many side streetsin western Queens, Staten Island, and Brooklyn.

So what happened? Did the mayor wait too long to declare a snow emergency? Was the

Sanitation Department crippled by cuts or sabotaged by frustrated union workers? Or did too

many residents underestimate the storm and drive, only to abandon their vehicles?

Rsidents frustrs : Bloomberg na pas tenus ses promesses de

dneigement.

30 dcembre 2010

NEW YORK (CBS) Le dlai que la ville sest impose elle-mme pour nettoyer la

neige de toutes les rues tait inconstant.

Devant les innombrables rues couvertes de neige et la monte des critiques

propos de ses dcisions en tempte de neige, ladministration Bloomberg se

dmenait jeudi pour rencontrer ses objectifs personnels devant expirer

9h00 am, rapporte Jay Dow.

Beaucoup prtendent que leurs rues sont toujours enneiges (recouvertes) et

que sils sont nettoys, ce nest pas grce aux dneigeurs de la ville ou aux

promesses du maire mais plutt aux rsidents qui se sont sortis eux-mmes de

cet hiver pas-si-merveilleux.

Le service dassainissement dit avoir atteint ses objectifs mais concde quil a

peut-treoubli de nettoyer quelques rues et que ses employs vont sy mettre

le plus vite possible.

Le maire Bloomberg admet maintenant que la ville aurait pu faire mieux. Nous

navons pas fait le travail que nous laurions voulut ou comme la ville le droit

de sattendre. Je mattends ce que chacune des rues de la ville de New York

soit dneige. Quelquun va-t-il se rendre compte dun oubli? Peut-tre.

Cet avis semblait treune reconnaissance de ce que des rsidents disent avoir

subis sur tant de petites rues du western Queens, Staten Island et brooklyn.

Alors, que sest-il pass? Le premier magistrat a attendu trop longtemps pour

dclarer ltat durgence en cas de tempte de neige? Le service

dassainissementtait-l paralys par les coupures ou sabot par des syndiqus

frustrs? Ou alors, trop de rsidents ont-ils sous-estim la tempte et sont

sortis, pour ensuite abandonner leur vhicule?
