The weekend storm is over and people in many communities are still wanting better conditions on their streets.

Snowplowing is a big job that takes time. On Monday, some Youngstown side streets are still covered in deep snow.

Cora Carter has lived at the top of a hill on Mercer Avenue for about 20 years.

“Nobody comes by here. It’s about two or three days before they even come and clean this street off,” she said. “I pay my taxes and I feel that something should be done about it because I cannot get around.”

She was outside on Monday, digging out her driveway. She didn’t want to miss work.

“The street is just covered,” Carter said. “I had to walk down the street the other day to get a ride to go to church on Sunday because I couldn’t get up the hill.”

Kevin Flinn oversees Youngstown’s effort to clear snow off of 982 streets, running over 1,000 miles.

“I appreciate their passion. I live in the city also and my street hasn’t been hit either,” he said.

Other city departments are helping but it’s a tough job.

“We’re estimating 60 to 65 percent complete with the side streets,” Flinn said.

That leaves a lot of work left to do.

People are calling the department to share their stories about the roads.

“A lot of the complaints are a bit rude, suggesting we’re sitting here, doing nothing,” Flinn said.

A parking ban was put in place to help road crews clear streets.

Carter is an independent provider for the state of Ohio. She felt bad because she couldn’t get to a client on Sunday.

Then she saw the help she’d been waiting for coming down the street.

“I was very pleased and happy to finally see that they were cleaning our streets off,” she said. “I got out and dug myself out so I could go to work today.”

It took the city a day and a half to clear ice last week. They hope to send a plow down every street, at least once, very soon.
