Trinity Street in downtown has been plowed several times. Residents in some neighborhoods are still waiting for one plow.
The snowfall stopped two days ago, but residents are reporting that a number of streets have yet to see a plow. Streets described as not “open,” with open being defined “as the plow opening up the middle of road” were posted by residents on the Hartford Fire Department’s Facebook page. It is safe to assume that this is an incomplete report, as not everyone has access to Facebook.
If you want to know exactly which streets were reported as “not open” — which areas receive service and which do not — check out the map created by Real Hartford. The streets included on the map — marked with snowflake icons — were reported on Monday morning and early afternoon.

What a neat use of Google Maps!
This is really bad. All those streets. Even Hillside!! What the dickens is this city going to do if a real disaster strikes. Everyone talks about downtown but that was a real mess this morning. Even the main roads into downtown were only one plow width wide. It was funny to see the pile up and to hear the loud honking of horns. And this mess was without Travlers being opened. Where is the mayor? Where is the DPW? Home under their beds?
