Overview
- City officials said a majority of main routes have been treated, and crews began addressing residential streets and alleyways on Monday.
- Public Works reported that many roads still require plow passes because nine inches of snow and near-zero temperatures reduced salt effectiveness.
- Director Chris Hornstein said crews have worked around-the-clock since Saturday, running 40 to 48 plows per 12-hour shift, and consider most streets navigable with caution.
- Equipment availability dropped from 61 trucks and 16 reserve units at storm start to 57 and 13, with 40 trucks brought in for maintenance and 33 returned to service.
- Nearby Greensburg continued catch-up work with limited salt supplies and shifted focus to side streets and downtown sidewalks, noting state roads remain PennDOT’s responsibility.
