Plowing
Rahm is waiting for the warm weather again to melt the snowfall. As numerous readers noted, the snowplows were out in the "quiet" neighborhoods, but driving around in the "blade up" position, which is great for making deep truck tire tracks on the side streets. But it does nothing to actually clear the streets, which melt and re-freeze into a smooth glass.
Does anyone know if hiring at Streets is anemic like CPD? Or if he's "saving money" by not paying the drivers 12 and 14 hour days plowing?

What happened to Charlie Williams?
I heard an interview on the radio
and they had a new head of S&S.
Please don't say he's coming back
to take over CPD.
Gee, what are we paying taxes for?
The first 2 "storms" they did an awful job. The last srorm, I have to say they did a great job here in Garfield Ridge. Plows made at least 5 passes and did curb to curb where there weren't cars. Dropped tons of salt.
Rham just attach a plow to fire trucks and police shitbox squads... the voters want to see the city getting its money worth. I don’t have faith the union would step up to stop you. And all alderscum would back you up too
C’mon SCC .
You know Rahm doesn’t give a shit about the “quieter” neighborhoods.
He disproportionately gives city resources to “the community” at the expense of the “quieter” neighborhoods.
Keep voting for this asshole Sheeple.
So, they drove around in circles, wasting gas, and didn't actually move any snow?
If they did that in our township, the supervisor's life would be made miserable.
Likely a few would just take their own equipment and plow him in with six to ten foot snowbanks.
Then again, the guys doing the work here actually enjoy their jobs and take pride in it.
1 inch of snow and 3 inches of salt. Enough already.
Same bullshit in rust belt cities.
Asshole mayor has bike lanes clear
but residents complaining some side
streets untouched. One resident had
to purchase 60 pounds of salt out of her
own money. Idiot mayor still thinks he can
lure Amazon in. Residents say same pattern
has existed for decades. Mayor says city is
using 1987 technology and procedures on
radio interview. Hey clown, mail your 5 minute
interview to Jeff Bezos. You could be an inaction
figure just like the "Isuzu Liar."
It's his new crime prevention strategy......
.....based on the theory that criminals can't effectively criminize when they're slippin' and ah slidin'...........
Maybe They are effing with their pensions like They want to eff with ours.
I’ve hunkered down for winter.
His umbrella holders drive him and his family everywhere. What does he care?
That is why he put that new guy and he bows down completely to the mayor has many of them do but this time the job that was done on the streets I live in the 14th ward on the West End of eight and they get really a crappy job put it mildly!
Hey, how about telling those lazy homeowners to shovel their sidewalks in 016. Guess folks and teens to lazy today.
The City of Chicago has the worst plow drivers anywhere in the nation. Their incompetence was a huge of why I left Chicago. I used to live in Norwood Park. Everyone on my street had a side drive. NO ONE parked their cars on the street. Which meant it wouldn't take too much effort to plow to the curb on at least one side of the street. But they wouldn't do it. They would drive down my street and plow right down the middle usually 3-4 times. Never to the curb. One day an old lady who lives on the block stopped one of them and asked him why. He said that he doesn't get paid to go to the curb. All of this meant that on those days when we had deep snows,if one car was driving westbound and another car was driving eastbound, one of them had to pull into someones driveway to let the other car proceed. Ridiculous. I took pictures and sent them to the Aldermans Office (the Irish guy whose name I forget ) but nothing was ever down. So combine that with the high taxes, the red light cameras, the speed cameras, the lieing midget, the encroaching crime, the pandering to the people that hate us, I decided to retire and move away. Now I live where they plow my street curb to curb even when the snowfall is light, there is virtually no crime, taxes are low and the Mayor doesn't lie everytime he opens his mouth.
The village of skokie does not plow much better, they leave about a half inch of crap on the streets to prevent wearing out the wear edge on the plows.... Umm I do residential snow plowing and if I did that I wouldn't have one customer but it is ok for the village to plow the streets like that and turn them into an icy mess.

That’s odd, there is no salting or curb to curb on my Garfield Ridge block (Merrimac) from Archer to 51st. And the street sucks too.
Stay off the blog mr. shitty chili. You don’t need to stroke yourself on here too.
Ah, don't complain too gawd-awful much, had weather is probably responsible for much of the "crime is down" bullshit.

What's with a 'gift' of $5.5 Mil from Rham to some health insurance company? I guess he can afford it since he's taking the employees health insurance away.
They got a 5 year deal 10.5 pay raise the truck driver run the show fuck 9.5 fingers
Blade up but did drop enough salt on my side street in 016. Kinda glad since we have no parkways on our block and the previous dickhead S&S drivers usually plowed it back onto our shoveled sidewalks
I’ll bet a certain block on north Hermitage was plowed. We could check the police body cameras to see if this is indeed true- oh wait.....never mind.
Amazon playing the U.S. for suckers.
"a" has "narrowed" the list to 20 cities.
Good luck pleasing your future king.
Seattle already fed up. Bezos richest
man in America.

Hear, hear!
It’s ridiculous overkill
Oftentimes after just a dusting of snow there’s no snow on grass or sidewalks but the streets are absolutely coated with salt.... WTF??
The teamsters got screwed with that new contract.
Just drive down Darts block in Mt Greenwood. Always one of the first to get plowed and salted. They have salted it so much that is has to be repaved every couple of years.
Burke has his block plowed 10 times in two days
If the plows drive around without the plow down they can't be create potholes. Therefore a cash savings in the spring.
“Plowing”
Who else thought of Det. Shaved ?
Buying tons of salt and using hardly any for the past two winter seasons....ooooooh
Cholly you gots t’go.
Cholly finally retires, double dipped in pension and his replacement is another sponsored admin pencil pusher who never drove a truck.
Heck, even Sandy Jackson rode along for a bit of Plowing.
New SS Comm. Tully is a Rahm pick, versed in cooking the books was needed for all those Fleet S&S barns they’re going to be building.
Insider deals already cut for land grabs and long abandoned toxic wasteland was sold to the city for huge money to build those new scattered site facilities. Maybe Cholly was a deedholder of one of the proposed barren sites.
Don’t expect Ferguson to audit anything related to Streets and San. for a while.
To 01:15 am, so who's block do you live on??? I drove down Dart' s street and it was clear and salted while mine hadn't been touched...
Amazon is not coming anywhere near Chicago. Bezos didn't become successful and very, very wealthy by being stupid. Plunk my HQ down in a city that averages 2 murders a day over a year? Watya fukn' nuts?
Wake up Rahm! Bezos doesn't give a rat's ass about bike paths and median planters!
If they did decide on somewhere in Illinois (south of I-80), by the time the infrastructure was ready, there wouldn't be anyone still here to work there. In a couple of years, the only people left in Illinois will be those that are just hanging on till retirement and the willfully unemployed parasites with the outstretched palms demanding ever more "help".
What would be the point of driving but not plowing? You're paying the drivers anyway? I don't get it.
I don't mind at all. I wish they never plowed. It's the only time I get to 4 wheel my ridiculously giant 4 door Jeep with a snorkel and vanity plates that have a catchy police innuendo, like TRR1 or 143A.
"Hey, how about telling those lazy homeowners to shovel their sidewalks in 016. Guess folks and teens to lazy today."
\Here's an idea. How about all the people collecting unemployment benefits are ordered to report on a daily basis to shovel snow through out the city. If not no check

No idea what that means. Anyway, I'm just calling it like I see it. No need to say stupid shit. Like north of Archer is a shithole.

It isn't coming to Chicago. I doubt it's going anywhere where weather could hamper production (i.e. workers making it to work).
And you're right, the west corridor would be perfect, but it's not part of any submission.
Could the Finkl campus handle fifty thousand new workers? No.
Bank on someplace sprawling, with lots of room around it for new housing and new retail.
Some talk show hosts on the final 20 list
suggest emailing Amazon/Bezos about
the excellent snow removal programs
in their cities. Send photos. Ask for bulk
discounts on salt.
shitti chilli...that's funny...but so true.
Why the fuck do these plows drive around with the plow up ? Plow some of the side streets and put the plow down
On my block the plow drivers go curb to curb. When they finish that, they hand shovel each and every sidewalk. After the work is done they put a mint on the front stairs of every house. And yes, I live in fantasy land.
