This is VERY DISCOURAGING since I read on the KDKA news site that Overbrook is one of the neighborhoods listed that were 'blitzed' yesterday. I am at the end of my rope. I am literally stranded here at home. These two roads are impassable, and have not been touched in a week! Traffic out my front door on Rt. 88 is moving nicely, but I have no way to GET to it. Please. Do something. I have missed a week's work.

All in all, I think this was a truly unique situation and a lot of people have worked hard to get as much done as they could. Like Mr. White above, our alley (Newburn Way) hasn't been plowed as of Tuesday night. Luckily our cars are in the public lot over on Sankey and NOT in our driveway or we'd still be stuck. Also - BIG kudos to Brownsville Rd Burger King for letting so many of us who couldn't make it to our own streets park in their lot. It's a shame the vacant supermarket parking lot next door to them couldn't be utilized. It would have made it easier for residents and the poor souls trying to plow Brownsville Rd.

I have lost two days of work since it is impossible for me to get up our street since we are one of the forgotten streets in Pittsburgh and more so in your District. I have spoken with a friend of mine in Crafton Heights, his street has been plowed a total of three times and salted. And his alley has also been plowed. How can streets be done more than once and others none at all? I live on Meredith Street.
