I've lived on Byrnes for many years, and it is seldom plowed. When the snowstorm involves ice -- as the last one did -- mail trucks are unable to get up the hill to deliver mail. So, no mail, sometimes for days. They (and cars) may get momentum driving up the lower part of the hill, but the stop sign in the middle of that hill puts a stop to that. That stop sign is dangerous heading north and south when the street isn't plowed. Lots of vehicles slide through. If the storm drops a lot of snow, we might get plowed out, but it is days later. So you clear your drive and hope for the best. The "best" happens early in the morning days later when we've either been stuck in snow on the street several times or have found ways to get into the tire tracks already made. Then the plow comes by, picks up all that hard-packed snow, and builds an ice wall blocking your driveway, It's not like this is a new problem. We live in Michigan and expect snow. We can see how other communities deal with it. Lansing needs a solution that works for all residents.
