Pittsburgh Department of Public Works preparing for another blast of winter weather Friday morning
Public works crews in the City of Pittsburgh are preparing for another round of snow that’s expected to impact tomorrows morning commute.
Some people hope it won’t be a repeat of how the city handled last week’s snowfall.
With more snow on the way, some people in the City of Pittsburgh are concerned and still frustrated over last week’s wintry mess.
Several cars got stuck on Negley Avenue in Squirrel Hill the morning of Dec. 21.
Some people say a lot of roads were unsalted across the city.
“It’s Pittsburgh, they are supposed to be ready for stuff like this you know, should be out the day before night before salting everything,” DoorDash driver Robert Dennis said.
Dennis uses Negley Avenue daily.
“It’s the main drag. I go down it everyday. I don’t see why they wouldn’t come out and salt it. That’s crazy,” Dennis said.
The City of Pittsburgh said that day public works was responding to unexpected heavy snowfall.
A Ring camera video showed a car sliding on ice, nearly hitting an SUV and slamming straight into the side of a house on Parkwood Road in Mount Oliver that same day.
By that afternoon, the city deployed 40 plow trucks.
“I have friends who live on the slopes and Mount Oliver area that did have a big problem couple weeks ago. I’m glad they are gonna do a better job this time,” Lucy Leitner said.
Today, Allegheny County’s Department of Public Works said when the snow starts early Friday morning, they will have 30 salt trucks with plows deployed.
The city said they are also prepared and will have 60 trucks out overnight to treat the roads.
The city says the bulk of the snow is expected to hit during rush hour tomorrow morning so they will have crews out around the clock to make sure the roads are safe.
