Street Cleaning FAIL

These pictures tell the stroy. After something like 46 days of suspended Alternate Side of the Street Parking regulations the city reinstated the rules this past week. So this morning as I came out to move my car I actually saw the street cleaner and a plow go down the block in the lane where parked cars had been wedged between piles of snow for over a month. Awesome, right? Let the plow and the street cleaner go through and clear out the obstructions, open up more parking, etc? You would think. Not so much. First of all - shouldn't the plow go down the street first so that the street cleaner can clean the actual street and not just brush the snow? This didn't make sense. I waited a few minutes and watched and snapped these photos and, yeah. Both trucks basically just weaved around the curbside piles of snow. Awesome.
