Residents Outraged After City Snow Plows Destroy Fences
By STEPHANIE BARISHwpix.com 3:03 PM EST, February 15, 2010 JERSEY CITY, N.J. (WPIX) - Snow plows are being blamed for taking out at least a dozen backyard fences in Jersey City during last week's snow storm. Some homeowners who live along Route 440 woke up Thursday morning to their fences partially destroyed or collapsed. The damage was reported at 12 homes located on Country Village Road, Riverview Road and Suburbia Court. Several residents claim the damage happened when snow plows pushed snow from the highway into the fence causing it to collapse. One resident on Surburbia Court reportedly claimed her fence had been installed 2 years ago for $2,500 and was left completely ruined. The snow plows were out in force to clear roadways Thursday in wake of Wednesday's storm which dumped more than 16 inches of snow in some parts of the Garden State. Joe Dee, a spokesman for the state Department of Transportation, told PIX News that officials will be looking into the complaints. Copyright ? 2010, WPI

 Steve Sandberg/1010 WINS Posted: Monday, 15 February 2010 2:42PM Angry Jersey City Home Owners Say Plows Cleared More Than Snow JERSEY CITY, N.J. (1010 WINS) -- Plows looking to remove snow along Route 440 in Jersey City did more than just clear the white stuff -- they allegedly cleared the fences too. The clean up was intended to remove snow in time for last Thursday morning?s commute, but about a dozen angry home owners on Country Village Road, Riverview Road and Suburbia Court are blaming the plows for flattening their backyard fences. One of the home owners, Lori Hennesey, says the fences were fine until 2 a.m. Thursday morning, but that later in morning after her daughter had gone out to play, she discovered only a guard rail remained between her yard and bustling Route 440. Hennesey, a committee woman for Ward A in the community, said she has received a number of complaints from local residents saying that their vinyl, wood, and chain link backyard fences were damaged or completely collapsed. A spokesman for the state Department of Transportation said the officials would be looking into the complaints. Listen here: http://www.1010wins.com/Angry-NJ-Home ... eared-More-Than-S/6364771
