MAYOR APOLOGIZES FOR "UNACCEPTABLE" SNOW REMOVAL; VOWS CHANGES

If you were not happy with the snow removal in Maplewood the past few days following Tuesday's big blizzard, you were not alone.

Mayor Vic Deluca agreed with you, issuing this statement Thursday that the work was unacceptable and changes would be made for the next big storm:

The DPW staff worked very hard on the clean up from this storm. Many of them worked for 20 hours. Unfortunately, the results were not acceptable. We are continuing to clear areas that need more work. I apologize for the condition of our roads. We will the evaluate snow removal operation and make changes for next season.
