Recent conversations among Denver metro area residents have undoubtedly included laments of being forced to navigate side streets caked with ice. Maybe the city needs a new snow removal plan.
The fifth floor of the parking garage is covered with ice and snow at Denver International Airport on Thursday, Dec. 22, 2022.Growing evidence of climate change is a good reason for Denver officials to revisit the policy of not plowing or treating side streets during, before, or after snow storms. If the series of storms that began with freezing rain last Christmas night is any indication of what to expect, the days when the snow melted away quickly may become a thing of the past.
Even hearty ride-share drivers who occasionally deal with inebriated passengers and unseemly goings-on in their backseats now say their biggest headache is rutted roads in many parts of the city. Another problem blamed on lax snow removal is the growing number of small lakes that spring up at street corners. Melting snow on sidewalks can’t go anywhere because boulders of ice in the streets are blocking pathways to city drains.
However, it does not appear that these rules are promptly obeyed, especially on sidewalks in front of unoccupied buildings and vacant lots.
