I won’t give Mayor Stoneless all the credit on this one, this actually started with Mayor Bucktooth and Bowlcut. I noticed in the last few years of his administration and into TenHaken’s there really hasn’t been a strong effort to plow the side streets during the winter, which turns them into icy ruts. After Paul’s church volunteer tornado cleanup effort, I’m getting the feeling more and more he is more concerned about developer handouts and less on citizen services. We pay taxes for a reason, to keep our infrastructure maintained. It will be interesting to see how he reacts this year, but if it is anything like the end of last winter, we are going to be driving on some pretty crappy ice covered streets.
Is the City of Sioux Falls trying to get away from plowing city side streets?

I have hope for plowing this season. I have seen the street cleaners twice already in my neighborhood this year. Hopefully, they will be back by late November for the leaves.
In the Ante-Huether Era, street cleaners showed up three times a year. Under Huether? Maybe once.
I like to thing that ThuneHaken has learned his lesson and the street cleaners are the first example of a lesson learned.
Else, he plans to have the municipal band stomp through the snow to melt it. Will that be music to our ears, or merely, drowned out noise?
