Milwaukee aldermen are exploring refunds for residents whose neighborhoods werent properly plowed after last months snowfall.The matter will be discussed today at 9 a.m. during a Public Works Committee meeting at City Hall.The initiative follows complaints about unsafe road conditions after the city failed to clear four inches of snow on December 20, 2024. In some areas, lingering snow and uncollected autumn leaves hindered daily activities and were scattered back onto lawns during snowplowing, according to a release sent Dec. 23.The release stated that Aldermen Peter Burgelis, Sharlen Moore, Robert J. Bauman, and Andrea M. Pratt introduced a communication file with the Budget and Management Division to "explore the feasibility of refunding snowplow fees for residents who experienced poor or inadequate snow removal services." Burgelis emphasized the need for better public services, questioning the city's ability to handle future snow events.Milwaukee residents deserve reliable public services, especially during critical winter months, Burgelis said. We have to be able to provide better services to our residents. If we cant handle 4 inches of snow now, whats going to happen later this winter?Alderwoman Moore noted that many neighborhood streets were not salted or plowed, leading to dangerous conditions after cold weather.Major roads were great, but many neighborhood streets werent salted or plowed, and cold weather over the weekend made these neighborhoods slick and dangerous, Moore said. The hearing will evaluate refund mechanisms and discuss improvements to snow and leaf removal services.Its about time to watch on your time.
