FRom what I see they did the best they could.

good job

Pretty good job plowing, but how does one of the poorest cities in the state not manage to have a warming shelter? Unless I'm mistaken, the nearest one is at Gaudet in Middletown. Excellent planning as usual, Newport - the happiest coastal city.

I live on Malbone Rd which usually gets done rather quickly and this storm was no exception. It's probably the only good reason for living on this road!!

Berkeley Terrace still is not plowed......apparently a downed cable line at one end. I do not know why the city could not have plowed the other end of the street, as it is not a dead end....

cut the stupid branches and limbs of the trees that keep causing these power outage problems and maintain them. maintenance should not be performed in a storm.
right now nothing is being done to keep the lines clear of branches and limbs.
just look around and look at all the power lines entangled in tree branches - some of them have actually joined the tree and grown into it. it is no wonder we have to tolerate this crap everytime there is a little storm.
maybe it is too expensive to bury the cable (but that is only we are such a corrupt society) but it is not too expensive to keep the lines clear.
morons.

Gotta agree with the tree branch complaints. Nat grid deserves an F. There's no excuse for their not keeping the lines clear.

Someone was cutting the tree branches along Malbone for about a week not long ago. I thought it was National Grid. However, there are two trees next to my house with big long branches hanging into the lines that didn't get done.

I am a long distance Newporter. Everyone whats to live on the island. Everyone points the finger at someone else. Count your blessings. For you to be able to comment tells me you might have electric. Do the community some good and go to those who do not have what you have. Someone does not have a hot bowl of soup or coffee. Then when you come home.,You will feel better what you have. That is how I was brought up in Newport.

not a great job on my street. Only saw the plow truck once and that was during the heaviest of snow fall....Bad rating from me....

All so many people do is complain and criticize. This storm was filled with obstacles for so many in so many different ways . I'm sure every last municipal plow that could get out thre did, ditto with Natinal Grid. Maybe you're all too young to remember what winter is really like? These conditions were an inconvenience -and a VERRRY cold one for those of us without power but here we are a day later enjoying some outside exercise, a beautiful day, and hopefully a hot meal. Life's not too bad after all, is it?

A+ excellent job. All the major streets are clear.

If you live on a side street with off street parking, you shouldn't have any expectations. If a plow went down your street it would compact the snow around your car and block you in for 2 extra days.

Whenever the plow guys ran across a tree that had come donwn, they were out in three seconds with chain saws cutting it up and getting it out of the way.

Not sure, have not dug out car yet, may wait until Spring, hee hee

They should have had every car parked on the street towed...These make it impossible as well as dangerous for them to do their job...Start enforcing the towing and see how fast people will do as they are asked..The police drove through town for hours announcing over their pa system to MOVE YOUR CARS OFF THE STREET....

not until sunday morning sometime did a plow ride up burnside ave(with plow down) and do a half-ass job but at least a vehicle could drive up street but....the side street DAVIS CT was still not plowed as of 1pm on sunday...It is almost AMAZING how west main road was plowed down to the pavement on sunday morning and a few feet past light entering NEWPORT on broadway, the snow was high enough to go ski-ing. i saw more snow plow vehicles with their plow up then DOWN.had to walk up broadway several times to 84 yr old mothers house to take care of her thru storm. The majority of side streets off broadway were plowed and probably driveable but i guess their neighborhoods pay more TAXES (not)... BTW my score for the job would be a 0...steve w. home owner burnside ave

As a West Narragansett Avenue resident, my street wasn't plowed very well, but there are cars parked on both sides of the street so that definitely impeded the town's efforts. Most of the major throughways were plowed pretty though.

Im wondering if in the future the public parking area might be used for those who normally park on the street during emergency situations like the blizzard???? Anyone know if thats ever been tried????
