Mayor Bill de Blasio says 100 percent of New York City’s primary streets have been plowed. De Blasio said Wednesday that all of the main streets were plowed by 6 a.m. He says 90 percent of the secondary streets also have been plowed.
There are 6,300 miles of city roads to plow.
De Blasio says the storm was “challenging” but workers for the city have risen to the occasion.
Mayor Bill de Blasio says “no one was treated differently” when it comes to snow cleanup.
De Blasio said Wednesday in response to some residents’ complaints that New York City has a “five-borough approach” to everything it does.
De Blasio says anyone who says otherwise is being disrespectful to the men and women who work for the Sanitation Department.
Heavy traffic ground to a halt for hours on snow-packed streets Tuesday afternoon and evening.
Central Park got 11 inches of snow.

Last night I was driving on a primary street with X inches of snow on the road. I was skidding and slidding all over the place. At the end of the road were 3 plow trucks PARKED on the divider with NO drivers in them. So please keep the praise to a minimum!!!!!!!!!
agree with hock. on my drive to work about 50 blocks long we saw almost no blacktop at all. it looked like it had maybe been plowed once early on and then not again. Drive around and see what it’s like not on highways and then see if you still want to praise the results.
