Cleveland was hit hard by the winter storm that rolled in to Northeast Ohio Sunday night through Monday morning. But even when the snow stopped falling, the impact it had on residents continued across the city as uncleared streets wreaked havoc all day.
Throughout the morning and into the evening, cars were spotted stuck on residential and city streets as they attempted to embark on their commutes, EMS and fire trucks were unable to make it down roads and the Greater Cleveland RTA suspended service for much of the day.
With all of the struggles clearing the streets Monday, Cleveland's new Mayor Justin Bibb spoke with News 5 to address concerns about the city's response.“The reality was there was a lot of snow,” he said. “This is my third week in office. It's my first snowstorm.I believe there's always room for improvement to make sure we're delivering high quality basic city services for our residents.
“It caught many of us, in terms of the magnitude of the snow, by surprise, but we were ready,” said Bibb. “We had over 123 drivers deployed, both seasonal and full time, over 73 vehicles from the large snow plows to the small snow plows to the road graders, as well.”“When the snow started to subside at 10 a.m., we started hit the main streets and then at noon we shifted to all of our side streets,” he said.“As mayor of a snow town like Cleveland, of course, I want more trucks.
