For those in Denver and surrounding suburbs... wtf is the plan for the sidestreets???

I live by Downing and Evans and all of the major roads are fine but once you get into the neighborhoods its unbelievable. There are hundreds of 8"+ rutts and bumps on every block. I don't understand how sedans are getting through some of these areas.

I don't know if plows could do any good in leveling some areas out, or if salt would help melt some of the ice away, or is the city just assuming they will melt away with time??

They have come through several times with each storm. A huge road blade just came through and removed all the packed stuff down to the pavement.

to my knowledge, and what i have seen between parker and denver, parker is the only municipality that is plowing it's neighborhoods.

denver does not do neighborhoods, so the ruts are only going to get worse by you....and with the next storm, even worse after that, woud be my guess.

in the neighborhood yesterday. But for some reason they only did the north south streets, the east west streets are still jacked. Needless to say, I'm sure my belly pan is totally destroyed by now. And if the storm this coming weekend is anything close to the rumors I've heard, then I'm thinking the roads will be crap until march.

Should melt sometime in July.

It took me 45mins to dig it out. Between the lack of plowing by the city, and a couple of the neighbors throwing the snow from their driveways into the middle of the street, we have barely one lane through.

The problem now is that you would need heavy equipment to get through the packed snow and ice to get back down to the pavement. I'm hoping that this warm weather will take care of most of it before the next storm hits.

This is getting really annoying.

not been touched. This is why I've driving the Isuzu Rodeo for the past 3 weeks now.

They dropped the ball on the first storm and it's just gotten worse from there. Lakewood sent a grader out to my neighborhood, but they worked the intersection a block away and didn't bother with mine, which was even worse and still is.

But for some reason they only did the north south streets, the east west streets are still jacked. Needless to say, I'm sure my belly pan is totally destroyed by now. And if the storm this coming weekend is anything close to the rumors I've heard, then I'm thinking the roads will be crap until march.

I got high centered in my A6 last week. It took me 45mins to dig it out. Between the lack of plowing by the city, and a couple of the neighbors throwing the snow from their driveways into the middle of the street, we have barely one lane through.
