Yes! Thank you Councilman Isaac Yitzy Schleifer and Mayor Brandon M. Scott! The roads in our area this morning are much improved from yesterday afternoon!

Awesome

This might not be your district, but the 2700 block of Silver Hill hasn’t been touched.

They did not complete my street and blocked me on with snow and ice. Need to fo way better.

Cantillon Effect: describes how newly created money, injected into the economy by central banks or governments, distributes unevenly, causing higher inflation for late receivers and benefiting early recipients. Usury: In the Bible, usury (neshek in Hebrew) refers to charging interest of any kind on loans, not just excessive or illegal interest as defined today. Old Testament law prohibited lending at interest to fellow Israelites, viewing it as exploiting the poor and vulnerable, while allowing interest to be charged to foreigners. Money: the mutually agreed upon system of account used to facilitate the trade of goods and services now and into the future. Bitcoin: humanities only money by definition. Good luck being a parasitic worm in the impending sovereign world.

Berkeley Ave off of Glenn Ave still hasn’t been plowed.

They need to come the Waverly/Govans a lot of us are still stuck because the streets haven’t been touched

Talia Zalman still hasn't had a plow on her street

Service road behind green meadow parkway is still a sheet of snow

Are you kidding this is a cluster. Fire everyone. It’s a legit clown show. Where do you live Isaac ?

I hate to say this, but the city and county as far as plowing goes is a shit show…. Lanes are missing, and there are streets that still haven’t been plowed.

are you retarded scott, city is barely drivable.

It’s time for the City to terminate its contract with Lorenz, Inc. I have never seen such poor service delivery or such a complete lack of preparedness for a storm that was forecast well in advance.

Watched 3 of their trucks hanging out on my street yesterday , which was done very poorly

I don't know if you're a Republican or a Democrat, but there are no Hispanics doing snow removal. Thanks to Donald Trump, everyone's afraid, wondering how snowy their house is, and everyone's responsible for clearing their own streets.

Lorenz damaged my park sign on my renamed park . And it’s has been no accountability to them for the extensive damage they cause . I’m in my feeling that they damaged my sign.

I think it’s everywhere… this is more snow than we are equipped to deal with. The people that are out there, I know they’re trying but it doesn’t look that great…

I don’t think you know shit about plowing snow

We also had problems with them.

I will have to disagree with a lot of the negativity on here..Lorenz is doing a great job considering the conditions that the weather is allowing. My interactions with the guys on there have been pleasant. Probably one of the few companies that treats snow removal as a core mission and not just a sideline job. 👍🏼

Coming from the guy that passed a bill to double his own retirement salary and pay

I was a Lorenz driver during the storm in the Druid Hill Park area, and was met by the inspector twice to tell me I was doing a good job. I certainly apologize your experience was different. The salt the city buys freezes in the salt hopper, causing the augers to clog since this was a particularly cold storm. This slowed many of us…

Can you cancel the city councils contact with it

One side of the story.

I completely disagree with the statement!

Wow. The City has so many bullshit contracts. Why is *this* one the one that warrants a tirade on social?!? I'm not saying this company should get a pass. I'm wondering where this energy was the dozen other times that City contractors completely failed to deliver.

I’ll take over the contract, tons of reliable, competent employees and plenty of snow equipment!

Gotta love them city contracts. Everyone likes working for the city they give low prices then hit you with a bunch of change orders or just do shitty work I wouldn’t be surprised if they charge you guys extra for the amount of snow and watching movies on their phones.

How about we give the guy the benefit of the doubt? Maybe he's been out all night and needs to take a little break. Maybe put a plow on your vehicle and go out.

I would suggest, if your going to bad mouth a company or person, state your reason . I would assume you should be responsible enough to realize that in your elected position! If I were to go on social media and bad mouth you councilman , I would state my reason. Better than then that , I would pick up the phone and call your office , and make a complaint !

What Is The Issue? "Poor service" in what way?

All you fucking jews do is fucking complain if you have a problem with it do it yourself

You are the greatest most caring councilman

Time to terminate

Agreed. They have been a disappointment in Mount Washington for sure.

We in the county use BHK outstanding job

Do we know if they are related to someone in city government? You know that’s always the first question we have to ask.

It’s amazing that you showing a community that you don’t even support and we are the community. This man doesn’t even come to meetings in OUR community let alone do for this community more than the OTHER community of people that live across Park Heights where there are lights on corners for safety, and they are more than safe to walk at night. They also get fast police action anddddd there neighborhoods are more than safe from crime. Take a good look at this picture and ask this man anything about this community and what has he done and we are five minutes from the police station. This is way out of his character for social media and that was the purpose of this video.

Lorenz stopped coming at 3:30 am when it actually started snowing.

What a great service for the community.

Milbrook the area has not been cleaned at all or around FallStaff either Be safe

Are the roads slippery

Your driving on passable side streets that were clearly plowed at a minimum of once while contractors sit at un replenished salt domes waiting 2-3 hrs to be told city will not load contractors with the shortage of salt. Have you ever seen a city truck working or even resting although they are the only ones allowed to get salt. Show a bmore city truck anywhere in any of your travels and it might hold more weight

I realize the intentions here are good but city officials have been very clear: stay off the roads so that plows and emergency responders can do their jobs

Be Safe Looking Very Nasty

They are starting to use the snow equipment now over by the apts off fallstaff and willow glen. Yay !

Thank you!!! Stay safe out there

You are the best Stay safe and warm

Your a 🤡🤡🤡

3100 Block of Bancroft not plowed

Wipers….
