Haven't you heard - 80 is the new 40. Maybe they:

were going to the gym or a hot yoga session
ran out of miso and were headed to P&K
had tickets to The Book of Mormon
were headed to the pharmacy for lube and some blue pills
were going to their favorate wine shop, because a case of the wine from the Tuscan town they went to on vacation had come in

Are you talking about 2 Journal Square Plaza? Hartz Mountain owns it. They don't clean very well. They seem to do the minimum. Feel free to report them.

Yesterday (Thursday) I saw a dedicated snow removal mini snowplowing vehicle driven by a building maintenance worker down the sidewalk adjacent to the parking garage North of the PATH station on JFK Blvd. this is the large modern building on the West side of the street North of the tracks. Minimal effort to drive this thing down the sidewalk but it turns out this person only made one pass and the swath he cut through the snow is not as wide as the sidewalk nor was it wide enough for two people to pass each other. 24 hours later the sidewalk is covered with commuters on foot slogging home and the walk has seen no further snow removal and is not wide enough to allow two way foot traffic. Unacceptable. This is a property that OWNS A SNOW PLOW DESIGNED FOR THE SIDEWALK. They have employees who can operate it but they didn?t fully clear the public sidewalk? Looking over at their vast parking facility 100 yards away I could see acres of cleared pavement, plowed clean to allow for paid parking. Unacceptable. If the large managed properties show this sort of contempt for their responsibility to clear the sidewalks how are we going to get the small business owners to do the right thing and clear generous amounts of sidewalk so the rest of us can at least walk around our town like its civilized?

Does anyone know if recycling will be picked up soon?

Our block has thurs night recycling. So currently, all our recycling is still on the curb (along with the rest of the street).

Wondering if we should leave them out (and hope for a special pick up schedule to make up for the missed one last night), or should I bring it in to wait for next thurs?

With all the corners needing snow removal it didn't look good to see a bobcat snowplow clearing the snow in Van Vorst Park. Where are the DPW crews who did this in past years? Not even clearing sewer grates to allow the lakes of water to go down. A horrid mess.

My guess, sadly, would be pharmacies - at least those where you can play the numbers....

I'm guessing Church and/or Pharmacy visits.

Seattle refused to salt roads in order to save the environment.

This was the result:

So you think rock salt isn't harmful to OUR environment? That's insane, You sound like those old time residents who used to pour their used motor oil down the sewer drains.


Oil comes from the ground! It's natural!

Meanwhile, here is some science from an actual estuary that is feeling the ill-effects of our addiction to road salt.

http://www.dnr.state.md.us/education/envirothon/salt.html

But who needs science when we have Tern's opinion?


And it's 100% organic! Unlike all these genetically modified dogs running around.


The EPA recommends keeping dog crap out of the gutters, but not rock salt. When you find some science supporting your hyperbole, perhaps you can write to the EPA and get them to add salt to their list of estuary pollutants.

http://water.epa.gov/type/oceb/fact5.cfm



While we're quoting the EPA, here are a few more entries FROM THAT SAME WEBSITE.

http://www.epa.gov/ada/eco/pdfs/road_salts.pdf

http://www.epa.gov/region1/topics/water/pdfs/winterfacts.pdf

http://blog.epa.gov/healthywaters/201 ... ter-with-a-grain-of-salt/

"Once in the groundwater, salt remains there for decades."

"Several recent studies have shown that by using new techniques, equipment, and chemicals, roads can actually
be safer with less salt use."

And not one mention of dog poop.


And where in any of those additional links does it say it harms estuaries?

I have just read that article fully, it doesn't seem to describe any ill-effects of salt on the estuary.

Not saying it doesn't happen, I haven't researched it. But none of the articles you have posted so far demonstrate salt being bad for a seaside location.
Superficially it seems unlikely adding salt to an already salty estuary will have an impact.

Robin.

Practice good housekeeping. Around the house, keep litter, pet waste, leaves, and grass clippings out of street gutters and storm drains to prevent their entrance into streams that might flow to estuaries. Never dump any household, automotive, or gardening wastes into a storm drain. It might end up in an estuary. Keep your septic system in good working order. Replace any dripping faucets or leaky pipes and install water-saving devices in shower heads and toilets. Always follow label directions for the use and disposal of household chemicals. Take used motor oil, paints, and other hazardous household materials to proper collection sites such as approved service stations or designated landfills.

sorry your belief system clashes with science. perhaps you can tackle evolution next? (after you over-salt your sidewalk. science can wait.)

I'm probably the only one here who is happy about this mess (except for the previous poster, out having a snowball fight with the kids - you go!) but today, like during our last snowstorm, was such an easy commute!

School cancelled, so no 3-block long traffic jam in front of P.S. 8 on Franklin Street, people who insist on driving everywhere apparently stayed home. The 87 bus was on-time, PATH to WTC had plenty of seats. Unlike the last 3 nights, where it took 45 minutes to 1 hour to get to the Heights from Hoboken Terminal, this was a breeze!

Thanks for the heads up. I was hoping to get up there early for the exact reason dtjcview mentioned. The later I shovel the tougher it's gonna be.

Guess I'll just have to keep an eye out for once the state of emergency is lifted.

Just shoveled my sidewalk. Snow is heavy due to the rain and will likely only get heavier during the day. Worth shoveling early if you can before the next round hits, and perhaps turning what's underneath to ice.
