“Snow is still a mess all over town,” Anchorage Assembly vice chair Chris Constant said. “There are still lanes that disappear as you’re driving down traffic. We’re, what, three weeks out from the last major snow event?”
Anchorage officials say they’re continuing work on widening roads and hauling snow away after a trio of storms brought more than 4 feet of snow to the city last month.
“We did that with single-grader teams, more or less making one lane through neighborhoods to provide that access,” Rodvik said. As a result, Kohlhase said, the city pulled snow dump trucks from the Chugiak-Eagle River maintenance contractor and is using drivers from the city’s water and waste services to operate vehicles.
Assembly member Constant said another area of concern is snow covering sidewalks, the snow piles making it difficult for walkers and bus riders to safely reach their destinations. “A couple weeks ago, it was my understanding that we had to pull some of the sidewalk blowers off because they were getting stuck and it was getting too dangerous because the berms and the spillover was getting too high,” Rodvik said.
