Committee member praises New Castle street department after snowstorm
Summary
A committee member thanked New Castle’s street crews for snow and ice removal, saying local roads were in better condition than nearby Muncie and Anderson, and raised a concern about a water-filled hole that remains warm despite freezing temperatures.
A committee member praised New Castle’s street department on the condition of local roads following recent snowfall and urged continued attention to a location that fills with water during cold weather.
The committee member told the meeting that crews who worked on salt and snow removal did “an outstanding job,” saying, “our roads were a lot better than some of our neighbors,” and singled out Greg and his staff for thanks. The speaker compared conditions in New Castle favorably to Muncie and Anderson following the storm.
The committee member also raised a separate infrastructure concern, describing “a terrible, terrible location” that fills with water and can be hazardous when surface temperatures fall below zero. He said the water emerging from the ground is about 54 degrees, and that the enclosed hole can feel warmer than the surrounding air in freezing weather.
There were no motions, votes, or formal directives recorded during this exchange. The meeting continued with other brief items.
