The January weather tests the endurance of drivers and the city’s utility services. Yes, since the night of January 19, almost spring warmth with rain was replaced by sleet and gusty wind. As a result, roads and pedestrian areas of the city were covered with snow.
As Volodymyr Suda, the head of the KP “Municipal Management Service”, said, due to the deterioration of weather conditions since the night, the snow removal equipment of the Drohobytsk Territorial Community is working in an enhanced mode. In particular, 2 sand throwers, an excavator with a dump truck and a Bobcat with a mini loader hit the roads. 44 janitors were involved in clearing roads, in particular pedestrian zones and sidewalks in Drohobych and Stebnik. They cleared the footpaths and sprinkled them from the snow with a sand-salt mixture.
As of the morning of January 19, according to utility workers, all roads in the city were passable, and no complaints from drivers were received at the “SMU” KP. Volodymyr Suda claims that the snow removal equipment will work throughout the day and, if necessary, at night. The roads are cleaned and sprinkled with a de-icing mixture.
Drivers are requested not to park their vehicles along the path of snow removal equipment.
Also, a separate request of communal services to the owners of businesses, shops, offices, shopping centers and cafeterias is to join in the cleaning and beautification of the territory adjacent to their facilities. Clear it, sprinkle it and take care of order, and after the snow melts, remove the accumulated sand.
After all, snow removal and sprinkling of paths near shopping centers, shops and offices is a direct duty of business. A similar situation with condominiums.
