“The recent snowstorms have made clear that despite being a winter city, the municipality is not equipped to deal with a significant snow event,” said Assembly Chair Suzanne LaFrance.
Last week, Jovell Rennie of downtown Anchorageto help out drivers stuck in the snow. Since then, he’s unstuck more than 20 people. He said it’s his favorite winter activity.
These roads are crazy. If any of y’all get in a jam, holler. Getting people unstuck is my favorite winter activity.A lot of drivers needed help over the last two weeks. Police reported hundreds of cars trapped on snowy roads, plus some car crashes. With three back-to-back snowstorms, bus service has been unreliable, pedestrians can’t count on sidewalks and local schools have shut down for an unprecedented six days, citing heavy snow and dangerous road conditions.
LaFrance said her constituents see snow removal as an essential service that must be done quickly and thoroughly. “I urge Mayor Bronson for the sake of public safety, our schools and our economy: Fix this problem so we are not in this situation again where streets remain impassable for days and schools and businesses are closed down,” she said.
