In reply to Tim. That is distressing. As an elderly person myself I find these storms frightening as many of us need help during an super storm. Maybe you can contact DPW again & talk to them about your car. During a storm they don't have time to pay attention. I hope you get your windshield fixed. Our car was rear ended & of course no one claims responsibility. I guess that is the price you pay for living in the "snow belt." I always think at this time of year it is time to move to a warmer climate.

Mr. Teresi said that for the past 93 years the City has not been involved in the sidewalk plowing business, other than for four routes in the vicinity of schools. As a resident of the city of Jamestown until September 1975, I remember not only that private contractors with horses and plows were employed by the city for MANY of those earlier years, but also that subsequently it had purchased a supply of Bombardier sidewalk plows to supersede the horse plows, and that most if not ALL of the city’s sidewalks were indeed plowed, in one way or another, AT MUNICIPAL EXPENSE. If not actually completely done BY the city of Jamestown’s employees during some of that time, the city WAS INDEED involved in plowing its sidewalks ALL OVER TOWN, if my memory is correct. Any others care to affirm or rebut my statements here?

It’s OK but during the snowstorm we had an emergency with the elderly lady next-door tit didn’t help at all when the snowplow driver plowed snow all the way up next to her porch the speed they come up Washington Street is uncalled for and nobody does nothing about it they busted the windshield in my car I’ve called the city and they don’t Care at all

I agree that the city DPW performed exceptionally well during this monster lake effect snow storm. Jamestown has unique terrain and it is difficult to plow every area in a short time. We all have to be patient as winter has just started. I believe that businesses, schools etc have to be flexible during storms that could have paralyzed Jamestown but did not. I was thrilled to get to the store to get supplied during a short break in the snow. Thanks to the Mayor, DPW, the postal workers, BPU – all who keep our city running smoothly.
