The first blizzard of the new year came and went last week, and the snow ban was lifted late Monday after being in place for five days. As is no secret, the Greater Fall River Area was bombarded with about 18 inches of snow, which caused havoc on roadways and city streets. Here’s a post storm interview with Department of Community Maintenance Director Jeffrey Little on just what happened:

    The people on Lane St. complied with the parking ban. However it didn’t matter because a pickup truck with a plow came up the street at 3 AM. Widened the street a little at the dead end, backed out in a single lane never to be seen again. Why did we have to shovel from the sidewalk to the middle of the street to get out. The was no reason, no car to stop the plow from getting near the curb. What do the streets of the Mayor, Mr Little, City Councillors look like?

    Let’s just stop with the bull shall we! You hire a bunch of clowns that have absolutely no idea as to what it takes to clear a street of snow. If you think for one minute that the work that was done on the streets of this city was good…then my friend you need to find another line of work. I drove snow plow years ago & I laugh at the half-ass(that’s a generous description) job that was done in this city. It’s a disgrace. I presently work for the Transit Authority trying to maneuver 30 & 40 ft. buses that are almost 8ft. wide around these streets. I would challenge to attempt that. You got no chance. I’m looking for a part time job. Might teach your boys a thing or two. Have a nice day sir.
