Isaac "Yitzy" Schleifer

Saw this in yesterday's Banner. Thank you Councilman, as always, for being on top of this and having the courage to push back on behalf of hardworking home owners. High taxes are definitely pushing people out of the City and out of the state and we can't afford to keep losing population.

Councilman Isaac Yitzy Schleifer, There is a Lorenz Plow truck sitting at the corner of Western run& strathmore. It has been sitting there with its flashers on, for 20 mins or so. Just wanted you to be advised.

Councilman, I’m in your district and haven’t yet had a single plow or salt truck come down our block. All other surrounding street have been plowed but not ours. I can’t access my house by car, can’t get trash picked up, and can’t get mail. I’ve seen dozens of Lorenz trucks going up and down the cross street next to us over and over every day for a week now, passing by our street. Haven’t seen a single one actually plowing, they’re just dropping salt over and over on the same already plowed main roads. 311 tickets are of no use as every single one is being closed with zero action. How might I get my block plowed?

MARYLAND POOLS & Plows is the best!

I see they used a picture of him doing his job in the headline 🤦🏻‍♂️ 😂

As of yesterday, there were parts of Reisterstown Road that were only one lane.

Yes I feel your frustration the private contractor Lorenz does my neighborhood, and I have had the privilege of stopping 1 of their drivers and talking with them, so in details they said some streets are just to small even for their pick up plows that makes them liable for any auto damage cause some PEOPLE that can't park is way away from the curb not in their defense but I see it every day in my neighborhood where people are almost foot and a half from the curb when it ain't even snowing no its not our job to clear the street of snow but you see the city don't eben clear the main streets Rogers Avenue, Lewiston ave, Wabash ave heck the city department heads can't think like DPW why didn't they run a large plowing truck Through the Alleys if they were so concern for their workers and I advise people that do open parking space if they have dogs not to shovel the salt snow in their yard as dogs do eat snow put talk to your neighborhoods and insist they flood 311 with the request for a plowing & removal one request won't get it done if people don't act together then our demands are not heard in my block the women are out more than the men I have to go clear over east cause my grand is only 7 but what is the city doing with the money they pay MONSE to give young's to shovel elderly residents this is the worst administration in 20 years for servings the people / citizens.

I hope the city is holding their payments

My car was dug out and thank to the city it is blocked in by ice. I have missed infusions all week as well as other urgent medical appointments. You need to do better. It doesn't help to keep salting streets if you are not removing snow and ice!

It's a competitive world out there. If this contractor can't handle the contract, then dump them and replace with another. The city can probably contract companies from out of state that would do better. Shop around. This Lorenz outfit ought to be permanently put on the "Do Not Use" list, for the future. They can't handle the job. It's that simple.

I spent all day (I’m no spring chicken) clearing my driveway and the walkway around my house (I live on a corner and it’s a lot). The walkway is also highly traveled and it looked pretty good if I do say so myself. I woke the next morning to find the walkway entirely buried with snow “boulders.” I’ve no time or energy to move them!

My street finally saw a plow yesterday afternoon. I have been emailing the city since Monday afternoon. This was the worst response to have received. With the amount of tax dollars we pay, we deserve better. 2700 Silver Hill Ave.

You’re disgusting. They’re an amazing hardworking company. YOU/CITY/COUNTY HAD NO SALT FOR TRUCKS. YOU WERE NOT PREPARED. Why would you target a business and drag their name through the mud when every single contractor out there has been doing their best with what they’ve got? Does that make you feel like a big man? Again, this contractors ALL work way harder than you ever have. You wouldn’t last one single shift doing what they do. Grow. Up. Why don’t you get out there and help?

Take this fine Baltimore city citizen who if they didn’t come across a decent Lorenz driver they prolly still be stuck there smh I’ve explain this to you man!
