Tipster Kara in Astoria sent us the above picture, with this note about the state of the snow removal in her neighborhood: "7 days after the storm, they keep sending trucks to scrape the bare street. Trying to overcompensate?" Reports about the disparities in snow plow response rates between Manhattan and the outer boroughs showed that Brooklyn and Queens streets were widely neglected. And with Mayor Bloomberg and his administration getting flack from every direction for their handling of the blizzard, it's not too hard to imagine Bloomberg exasperatedly saying, "here are your damn plows people, what more do you want?"
Another tipster sent in the video below, which shows city workers cleaning the streets in Boerum Hill today: "New York Department of Sanitation crews appear on my street seven days after the blizzard to shovel snow. Working or hardly working? This video shows a lot of standing around and leaning on shovels. Is this how taxpayer money should be spent?"
