Unidentified staff: 24/7 snow-hauling operations continue; 231 loads moved to 14th Street
Summary
An unidentified staff member said crews have been operating around the clock since Saturday, moving roughly 231 loads to a courthouse mound on 14th Street and projecting total hauls will approach about 5,000; the speaker also reported an inconsistent total-load figure in the remarks.
An unidentified staff member said crews have been operating around the clock to clear streets during the current storm response, and that crews have been preparing since the previous Tuesday.
"We have been in 24 7 continuous operations since 6PM last Saturday night," the unidentified staff member said, adding that crews expect to continue operating "till at least 6PM this coming Saturday." The speaker said the team has been "hauling, for the last several nights and days."
The speaker pointed to a visible accumulation at the courthouse on 14th Street and said crews have "hauled approximately 231 loads of snow there." The speaker also reported a total-haul figure, stating, "In total, currently, we're somewhere between 2,503,000 loads of snow in total," and then said the total "do expect that number to approach, close to 5,000 loads of snow." Those two statements are inconsistent; the speaker did not clarify the discrepancy during the remarks.
Why it matters: continued snow removal affects travel, access to public buildings and downtown clean-up schedules. The speaker's operating window—continuous work already underway and expected to continue through the coming Saturday—signals multi-day resource commitment and ongoing impacts for residents and businesses.
What officials said: the unidentified staff member said the agency had been "preparing for this storm since Tuesday of last week," including staging equipment and brining streets. The speaker emphasized active monitoring of contractors and equipment by a day-shift team.
What's next: The speaker said operations will continue at least until 6 p.m. on the coming Saturday; no further operational details, total-haul reconciliation or jurisdictional identification were provided in the remarks.
