The Mt. Carmel street department was lauded for their hard work and long hours during the recent bouts of heavy snow and ice. At last week’s City Council meeting, street commissioner Tom Meeks said some employees logged as many as 14 to 16 hours days clearing city streets.
Mayor Joe Judge also thanked Derek Guisewite for clearing the long section of sidewalk along Oak Street from 9th Street to College Drive to make it accessible for walkers and runners, who had to walk and run in the street because of the deep snow.
