With a blanket of snow forecasted to cover the St. Louis region this weekend, the city’s Street Department workers have started the prep work early, true to the diligence we've come to expect from those who keep our roads traversable. According to a recent social media post by the City of St. Louis Government, street crews have been out since the break of dawn at 6 a.m., laying down the first line of defense against the icy conditions that are all but promised to sweep across our concrete pathways.
Residents itching to hear the snow's hush across the city can take comfort in the fact that preparations are underway, and those crucial arteries that connect us, that keep our city's heart beating with the thrum of tires on pavement, they are being tended to. "Thank you to all the crews putting in long hours to keep our roads safe!" reads the enthusiastic endorsement from the crew's compatriots back in the office—as they rally behind the efforts being made on the ground, the trucks loaded with salt and brine have been rolling out since morning, underscoring the department’s commitment to public safety and the pre-storm hustle has already started, as reported by the City of St. Louis Government.
