Assemblymember Wilson seeks update on road service areas amid heavy snow
Summary
During the Assembly Committee of the Whole work session on Feb. 19, Assemblymember Wilson asked the administration for an update on road service areas, raising concerns about contractor availability and residents getting stuck during recent heavy snowfall.
Assemblymember Wilson asked the administration on Feb. 19 for an update on how the borough's road service areas are handling recent heavy snow, expressing concern about whether contractors can reach all areas and whether there are enough crews to respond.
Wilson said she was concerned not only about the financial cost but about operational capacity: “could we get just an update how our road service areas are doing with all this additional snow, not just cost wise, but are they even able to get their contractors out… Because I know the city's not, so I'm really concerned that there's only a few people out there doing it, and a lot of people getting stuck,” she said.
The Chair did not elicit an immediate departmental response during the brief work session; no motion or directive was recorded. The Assembly scheduled its next regular meeting for Feb. 26, where members may follow up. The work session adjourned at 6:26 p.m.
