A CDOT crew runs their plow truck southbound on Colorado Blvd. near E. 13th Ave. in Denver. The Denver metro area received more snow than expected this week, closing schools across the city with some areas measuring a foot of snow. (Kathryn Scott Osler, The Denver Post)
Re: “Denver’s snow-packed and icy roads leave some commuters frustrated,” Dec. 16 news story.
I’m tempted to say a big “so what” about the annoyed drivers who weren’t happy with the slushy roads. At least they could get to where they need to go. I did a lot of driving Wednesday and Thursday and could not help but notice how impassible the sidewalks, especially along major streets, were. What about the people who must use the sidewalk to get to work or to the bus stop to get to wherever they need to go? Inconsiderate property owners, coupled with lax enforcement of sidewalk snow-shoveling ordinances, are the real story.

This letter was published in the Dec. 19 edition.I want to add my two cents’ worth to the snow plowing issue. As others have said, itap great that the major thoroughfares are plowed, but if you can’t reach them because the side streets aren’t plowed, whatap the use?
I live off off 13th Avenue near Monaco Boulevard. Both of those streets have been plowed, but itap almost impossible to get to them because Locust Street and 12th Avenue are a mess and at some points almost impassable.
Come on, Denver, give us a plow, too!
