Someone worked real hard to shovel now off a patch of ice at Staib Park, so that ice skating could continue. It must have been a lot of work, since we had 12" of snow a week ago. Now, we all know it's been brutally cold, and no doubt the ice is probably frozen right to the asphalt. If not, it's only 3-6 inches deep anyway.
So, here's my point: I would think the city could send a snow plow back there, or a pick-up with a plow, and clear off at least part of it. Gee, that would take about 20 minutes, I think they could they spare the time. They have the key to the gates. Obviously, streets are the priority, but once that's all done, it would be nice to clear the ice.
I saw the gates that were recently installed to keep cars and trucks from vandalizing the park, or illegally dumping back there. Let's all give Albert Dib some thanks for that. He forwarded our requests to the city, and they made it happen.
