By the time they start, the snow is packed down and they can't plow it. They always miss the side of the roads in our neighborhood so the streets become narrow. Medicine Lake Drive needs to be plowed every couple of hours when it snows or people simply can't drive on it. You can do better!

Seemed that the side streets took a very long time to get plowed. The last snow (early April) of 20+ inches took over 24 hours to plow out our street. We are about 2 blocks off 101, which was totally clear. If it had not been a weekend, I would have had trouble getting my car to drive through. I am a nurse, and getting to work is not a choice for me. I feel that the side streets still need to be plowed even when the snow is not done when the accumulation is going to be over 6 inches.

Snow plowing on the east side of Plymouth is much slower to be completed than on the west side (I have lived on both sides). In addition, after the last snow, we waited far too long for plowing on the main streets let alone our neighborhood. Our neighborhood only had every other street plowed within 24 hours. The other streets were not plowed at all. Ongoing, plows leave a good 4-6 feet from the curb unplowed. For those of us in our 60's, clearing that extra snow from the driveway and mailbox is difficult.

Snow removal was timely, but often damaging to our property - mailboxes hit, tire treads on our yard that borders the road, curb breakage, pine tree branch damage close to the sidewalk. Also, the sidewalks were impossible to clear after the plows pushed all of the street snow onto them, which makes it impossible to shovel and make clear for children as they head to the busses. There’s a dead end (future road) on our street - I wonder if plows could use that for snow rather than making snowbanks along the road on the sidewalk side.

Snow plow is so far from mailbox that I have to shovel a wedge out so mailman and newspaper person can deliver--it is really difficult because the snow plow mound is hard packed. Also snowplow always follows same route...we seem to be on side of street that always gets a huge mound at end of driveway--would be nice if the plow could occasionally plow the other way. Thank you!

Plow never seems to clear curb to curb width of street. We seem to get one pass generally down the center as opposed to two passes one on each side. This leads to gradually narrowing streets in winter, with snow piles high several feet out from curb.

In my neighborhood after a snow emergency that isn't really significant, sometimes the snow removal seems to only be down the middle of the street. This leaves a significant amount of snow left on the sides of the street that eventually get driven through by postal works, etc. The snow frequently freezes and can become hazardous.

Wish the side walks had snow removal almost faster than the roads with all the walkers!

Side streets in neighborhoods could've used a second plow on certain occasions. Remained a lot sloppier than main roads.

Curves need to be plowed to the outer edge on both sides of the street. The traffic pattern that often develops where incoming and outgoing traffic (both directions of traffic) basically use the center of the curved road promotes icy/slick spots and sometimes compacts slush and ice into and over storm drains. Iced over storm drains take longer to thaw and are not available for melted or melting snow. Refreezing at night can create very slick conditions.

There has to be a better way to prioritize between streets. Frequently I would go from bare pavement on some roads that clearly had been plowed several times and get to my road which had not been touched. I understand you have to prioritize high traffic roads, but do at least one pass before the third or fourth on others. Also, when side roads are not plowed and re-freeze overnight they become extremely difficult to drive and hard on vehicles. The cul-du-sac policy is terrible- it took past 12 hours several times this winter before any attempt was made to clear snow. In some instances, the road was plowed up to the cul du sac, turned around in the cul du sac without plowing, and then left. I don't expect to prioritize full curb to curb but at least give me a path out so I can get to work.

Please do the “curb to curb” so both sides of residential streets are cleared. In our neighborhood street was cleared to the curb on only one side of street. I spoke with a trash collector who had to get out of his truck to get my can on my driveway and asked if my street gets plowed. He said “Plymouth has the worst plowed streets in the metro”.

Our side roads off of Co Rd 47 were not accessible unless you drive a 4 wheel truck.

We put out snow sticks to help guide the plows! Love the extra effort around our cul-de-sac this winter. Sometimes the pile up of snow between Bass Lake Road and the side streets (Deerwood for example) gets a bit excessive but that’s probably a split between County and City. Additionally, we did have an excess of snow this year!

East side of Plymouth seems neglected. Drivers (city and contractors need to take ownership of their routes.

If possible try not to block in driveways. In cul de sacs dont push snow into yards push it to the sides of cul de sac when possible.

The hilly portion of the north end of Cheshire Parkway, starting with the entrance to the Pulte Camelot housing development, becomes very slippery after any snowfall, which results in northbound vehicles spinning out and destroying trees in the median and on the sides of the street. So, this stretch of the street needs early and frequent attention following every snowfall.

The city plow plows down the street leaving a mess in the middle of the culdesac. The smaller contractors took a long time to get the cul-de-sac done leaving our driveway with large mounds of snow at the end of it. This was often after we had shoveled. There is plenty of room to pile the snow on either side. Grass was also torn up.

I had already sent an email to public works last year about this and it actually seemed to make a difference. We live in what the city workers call "tangle town" near the west side of Medicine Lake. There is no way out of our neighborhood without a hill (and two of them have curves at the bottom) so imagine your in a regular car and there's more than 3 or 4 inches of snow. You're stuck until the plow comes through. When we moved in in 2003 the plow always came through by 6 a.m. 2 years ago there were days the plow didn't show up until 9. How's that supposed to work on a school day? I get it, there's over 300 miles of roads to plow but is there any thought to what gets plowed first or do they just work their way out from the works sheds? And what's with the pickup truck plow?

It was like plowing was an after thought. Huge amounts of snow were left on major streets and if they came through once and never came back to finish so one side was clear and the other side full of snow. They all ignored the orange posts we have an took out landscape rock and a bush we had. Very frustrated it was really not a good season for the plowing group.

When plows make a turn from a major street over to my side street, they dump all the snow they bring from intersection on my driveway. If the routes could be built so that corner houses would not get buried under snow after each storm, that would be nice.

The streets in our neighborhood and side streets in Plymouth were like driving on a washboard this April. Wondering if they could have been plowed sooner and more frequently?

During the heavy snowfall events, it would be great to get to side streets even faster. I got stuck this year on a slight incline in my minivan.

It appears that the city might be out growing its help. Year after year it takes longer for service. On the quality side it is horrible. It never fails every year I have to put down new sod because they tear up my lawn with the snow plow blade, even after putting up markers.
