Why Wasn’t Madeline Court Plowed?
After it snowed, NYC slowly plowed Bay Ridge. Some residents of several Bay Ridge “court” or “terrace” streets were upset because they were not plowed after the snowstorm this year. In previous years, their blocks were plowed.
This is a huge safety concern for our community. We wouldn’t want anyone not to receive help for an emergency because the streets were not cleared of snow. Can you imagine how awful it would be to hear that someone died because EMS couldn’t access that block?!
Wogan Terrance, Madeline Court and Shore Court were not plowed this week.
Shore Court wasn’t plowed by NYC, but private plumbers plowed because one home had a broken water line that needed to be repaired. (Strangely, DSNY’s website shows that they plowed it.)
When a property owner from Madeline Court shared on Facebook that their area was not plowed, many Ridgites were not sympathetic.
Those living on a court own their parking space, so some Ridgites were bitter over that. Many encouraged her to make a fund to pay for snow removal.
The residents on Court and Terrace streets in Bay Ridge should form a Facebook group and put their concerns together and bring them to elected officials. It’s a huge safety concern, especially because Bay Ridge is a NORC.
