Stratford is a mess. We have not been plowed out yet. I can not remember ever not being plowed out after a storm. Rumors are flying around…. Only 3 plows in the town, the town has run out of diesel fuel, very limited response from the mayor. It is increasingly difficult to be patient. We are trapped with no hope of emergency vehicles getting down our street if needed.

Typical lack of preparation from old Bridgeport. It snows one inch they all over it, it snows 2 feet nary a plow in sight……I do not get much from my taxes here for sure.

Where are the plow’s you ask?….. Digging out the cars off the highways so they can actually plow the highways. There is a stretch of highway 27 miles long closed becuase of this exact reason. These guys can’t get much done when there is a bunch of buried cars all over the place! It’s so nice when people don’t listen, and stay off the roads when told to… this is the end result. This goes for seconday roads as well.

Mayor Finch keeps talking about the streets with abandoned cars mucking up the works, there are numerous streets that DON’T have such cars, why not send some of the plows to those streets and get some people moving again and not use all the man power and plows on the problems while making no headway anywhere else.

Ever hear of Jasper McLevy, Mayor of Bridgeport? 2 city snowplows for the whole City of Bridgeport back in the 1950s.

Jasper’s theory – “God put the snow there – let God take it away”.
Not much has changed in 60 years.

We are again the joke of Fairfield County. Whomever sent the DPW’s home on FR night to rest up needs to get fired. I bet if City had plowed through night we wouldn’t be facing this issue. Don’t fret becasue I know someone down turn with turn this disaster into an opportunity to raise our taxes.

Hot Tip:
If you’re going to get 30 inches don’t wait until it all falls and then think you are going to remove it (easily).
It’s not fun but you have to stay out there and push it off.
Yes, WHERE ARE THE PLOWS ??
I hope Bridgeport has a lot of “welders” down at DPW bcause you are going to “now” knock the heck out of the plows.
From what little I saw of the piles and drifts, you will need a lot of payloaders to move this stuff and that takes a lot of time…
