So it takes *forever* before the streets are cleaned up, and they don't get nearly as well plowed because they're not plowing off fresh snow, they're having to try to scrape up 6" of packed ice from 3 days of traffic driving over the snow.
My street hasn't been plowed yet, and with the next storm already coming, I get the feeling it won't be plowed for yet another week. The garbage trucks will have gone by twice before I see a snow plow on my street... which makes me wonder, why the hell don't the garbage trucks have snow plows on them?

I am in the same situation, possibly with a bit more snow being higher. Where my driveway hits the street is the cleanest part of the road for the entire block.
I like the idea of putting plows on the garbage trucks, but it will never happen.
