After The Storm, Day Three

Though it's been two days since the last flakes of the season's biggest snow storm touched the ground, many Prospect Heights residents are finding that -- while better -- the situation hasn't completely been cleaned up.

While there are still residual delays on almost every subway line across the City, the B and Q lines have finally started running again, after an outage of over a day. The S shuttle between Franklin Avenue and Prospect Park is still suspended, which is a hassle for anyone using the line as a means to transfer to the E or Q.

Bus lines are still affected in Brooklyn, with many lines still not operating, or operating with detours. For the most updated information about transit, please check the MTA's web site.

The main avenues have been cleared, but there are still plenty of side streets that remain untouched by plows this morning. Check out the handy map by Roadify to see what streets are clear and which are snowy, and contribute to help your neighbors out.

Still, the consensus is that "better late than never" doesn't apply, and New Yorkers are in an uproar over the way Mayor Bloomberg has handled the storm.

The City Council has called an oversight hearing for January 10, at 1 p.m., "to examine questions surrounding the City's response to yesterday's blizzard," said Speaker Christine Quinn in a written statement.

At this time, not enough snowplows are on the ground, and more cleanup efforts should be focused in the City's outer boroughs," said Council Member Letitia James, in a written statement. "Also, car owners are complaining that vehicles are buried by snow; it's difficult to locate cars, as well as dig cars out. Simply put, the failure of the Administration to declare a snow emergency was a major blunder."

Residents are encouraged to voice their complains to 311, but due to the high volume of calls, expect a slow response. Calls to 911 should only be made in the case of an emergency.
