Inscrutable are the ways of Public Works

[jhetley]

For some reason known but to God (or perhaps Mammon), the city has trucks and loaders at work removing snow from the second block of our street.  This would be one of the widest residential streets in the city, at least six lanes' worth*, while we and the other end languish with a bare two lanes -- with snowbanks and on-street parking, two cars can't pass at the same time...

*Originally laid out for either a tree-lawn down the center or for a streetcar turnout -- legends differ.
