Jamestown  (CSi)  In the wake of the blizzard two weekends ago that dumped over 20 inches of wind blown snow on Jamestown, Mayor Dwaine Heinrich says city officials, including Street Foreman, Rick Lipetzky  will meet in a debriefing session to look at what went right, and what needs improvements in snow removal.

On Monday’s Wayne Byers Show on CSi Cable 2, the mayor said, one snow removal option in the future, includes having vehicles parked in the two city lots, downtown, to park in advance of a forecasted heavy snow storm, along the railroad fence, to allow for efficient snow removal in those lots.

He also asks contractors removing snow from parking lots…not… to place snow in city streets, as city snow removal equipment is not able to encounter and remove those large amounts of snow while clearing already large amounts of snowfall.

He said other options will be discussed concerning where vehicles in the city can be parked off-street in advance of a forecasted large snow storm event to allow for efficient snow removal.

Overall, Mayor Heinrich said the city street crews removed snow from city streets in a timely manor, given the unusually large amount of snow that had fallen on city streets.

Meanwhile..

Jamestown Public Works says that during the winter months, citizens are reminded to remove snow in and around any utility meters located on the property so utility personnel are able to access and record the meter readings.

Examples are related to water, gas, and electric utilities that need to be read by City meter readers and other utility company personnel.
Thank you for your cooperation in this matter.
