GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ)- It’s another day of snow fighting for Green Bay Public Works.
Public Works Director Steve Griener says the amount of snow falling does not concern him or his staff, but how long the snow storm lasts does cause a need to schedule carefully.
“It is only safe to have people in plowing equipment for a certain period of time and then you have to get them home and get them rested.”
Griener say duration is a concern no matter what time of year it is.
He says the goal is to move people around so the work does not stop.
Griener says while it may seem like a burden for many, his staff is prepped to make everyday life as easy and safe as possible today.
“I am biased. I will put my staff against any staff in the U.S. any day anytime.”
Highly traveled roads will be the priority today and will have repeat maintenance, while the hope is to only have to plow residential streets one time.
Griener says his crew is ready to fight what mother nature brings, but they are putting their battle plan in place and calling audible’s as the storm continues.
“To put a plan in place and execute it without tweaking it would be more of the exception than the rule.”
He says April snow is not always the worst because the sun and pavement temperatures take care of the snow faster.
