Bad driving conditions following a record snowstorm in Anchorage have closed schools for a third straight day. Road crews said Friday that they’re working around-the-clock to catch up on clearing streets before another storm is forecast to hit on Sunday.
VanLandingham said snow plow crews began clearing snow from main Anchorage roads on Tuesday night, before moving to residential streets on Thursday.
“That increase was essentially net-even,” Assembly vice chair Chris Constant said on Friday. “Which means the administration had effectively planned on reducing snow plowing, which we’re not down with as a legislative body.”VanLandingham said the funding from the Assembly is appreciated, and a contract issue largely drove the increase in snow plowing costs. He said the city was set to contract with a trucking company in the fall, but the bidder pulled out at the last minute.
As the city continues to clear out streets, the Anchorage School District announced that they would be working with the city to offer operational staff support. VanLandingham said it will take a little time to get school district staff trained on city snow removal practices.
