>Cranley pinned increased rainfall and resultant landslides the city is seeing β average rainfall jumped from 40 inches in the city up to 1999 to 46.4 inches last year β on climate change and said state and federal governments are moving backward on addressing that global phenomenon.
>"Donald Trump pulled our country out of the Paris Accord," Cranley said, also blasting state lawmakers for passing legislation called HB6 that bails out nuclear and coal plants at the expense of the state's renewable energy standards. "But in the meantime, we are picking up the slack and leading by example."
>Cranley said the city has locked down a site for 1,000 acres of solar panels, an array he says will generate 100 megawatts of energy. The majority of that array will exist outside the city in Highland County, while some of the panels will be placed on city-owned rooftops. The array will be constructed by local laborers with IBEW, Cranley says, and will create hundreds of jobs.
At least twice previously this winter the city has pretreated roads with a brine solution before snowfall that ended up being largely unnecessary for the flurries that materialized.
Yesterday in advance of the most snow we've seen so far this season? Nothing. Since then? Nothing.
I'm not complaining that my street hasn't been plowed yet (it hasn't). I work from home, it's fine, I didn't have anywhere I had to go this morning. But I know plenty of people do.
That said, the street I live on is designated as a priority 1 clearance route by the city. It is typically aggressively treated and plowed throughout any snow event. So far, well more than 12 hours after snow began to fall? Nothing. I drove on at least two other such roads this morning (Victory and Dana) that likewise saw no signs of treatment or clearance, with multiple drivers slipping and sliding and generally have no traction on these thoroughfares.
The city dropped the ball on this one. And it wasn't even that much snow.
