SPRINGFIELD, Mass. (WGGB) — Springfield’s Mayor has one simple message today as the cleanup continues: “Stay off the roads.”
The Mayor spoke with ABC40′s Dave Madsen on 40 in the Morning Saturday to talk about the conditions.
Sarno says measurements from the city’s DPW indicates about 21 inches of snow fell on the City of Homes.
DPW crews are currently out clearing roads, then Sarno notes that by law, those crews need to be pulled from the roads for a few hours of rest.
Sarno notes that another “attack” of plow crews will resume this afternoon, starting again with the main roads then working on secondary roads.
Again though, the Mayor is urging everyone to stay off the roads, unless it’s an emergency, at which time you should call 911.
Non-emergency questions can be directed to 311.
People aren’t going to listen. If something happens to them like an accident they will try to sue the state. Stay the hell off the roads until they are clear.
Is this really a unique story any longer?
Tell that to the malls which are opening at noon!!
well my husband was working in Vermont and Ct and just got off this morning so he has to drive to Ma to get home,he can stay off the road when he gets home!
Is Sarno going to have the Springfield Police arrest anyone for driving on the roads? These politicians are getting a little too big for their britches.
@Howard ur so right are they gonna arrest anyone?? Doubt it I live in a main road. Its not plowed well yet and all I see are cars going by so if they were to crash state would be responsible well its not right they should be arresting them if I were driving I’d b the one pulled over!! All talk …
Robert Howard stop being a troll!
@ Nick. Is speaking out against too much Government control really being a “troll”? I would say I am more of a Libertine.
@ Johnson 48 coment! People that are in their house should stay at home unless is an emergency or that they just got out of work and need to come home to their families so some people will have to be on the streets they just need to be very careful driving!
No it’s not but you have been writing the same kind of things on almost every status.
You’ve been making the same comments for the last day. You’re getting annoying.
