Photos: Snow removal in the city

By Howard B. Owens

It seemed to be a beautiful day for snow clean up, though I'm sure city crews would even do it on a bitterly cold, overcast day.

Driving down Evans Street this morning I spotted crews making mountains of snow behind the ice arena and decided to stop for pictures. A worker told me they were clearing snow today from city parking lots, so I followed one of the trucks over to the parking lot off Jefferson Avenue.

Once again a GREAT JOB by our D.P.W.. I have to say it's been two winter seasons since the guys from the D.P.W.( department of public works) have had to come to the rescue and plow us out from a foot and a half of snow here in the city of Batavia but they did a great job again. I have ran snow removal equipment before for many years and know what it takes to do it and these workers run 5 huge snow plows at 40 miles an hour all side by side in tandem on route 5 it's really amazing to watch.
Keep up the great job D.P.W..
