With this first real impeding snow storm approaching the city I went to check on the map of street clasifacation. The sanitation department as part of pre-season preparations, street categories are reviewed and updated in accordance with the DSNY Public Street Snow Removal Classification criteria.
When you look at our area map you see a HUGE glaring yellow spot. We are third in line to get any attention.
Hopefully, this is the way it has always been. Hopefully, everything will we will see the same plowing as previous years. I just hope that last years storm is forcing us to be an afterthought. On second thought all we do have a lot of sanitation employees that live here
PRIMARY STREET – Any street that is:
A main traffic artery, main thoroughfare or a lifeline street such as highways, expressways, drives or bridges;
Feeder approaches to, and exits from bridges, tunnels, ferries, highways, airports;
All bus routes, private and city owned;
Streets which have located upon them facilities such as fire houses, police stations, hospitals, nursing homes, newspaper
plants, fuel distribution depots, transportation terminals, and schools;
All streets within CONCENTRATED food-produce, industrial, financial, theatrical-amusement, shopping, hospital or maritime (passenger and freight) areas;
All Snow Emergency Streets so designated by the Department of Transportation.SECONDARY STREET – Any street that is:
Reasonably heavily trafficked but not a primary street;
Used as an alternate route for a primary street;
The short length of residential area streets that feed into primary streets;TERTIARY STREETS – All other streets not heavily trafficked and not considered primary or secondary streets, including, but not limited to dead-end streets.
I always just assumed GB was Tertiary. Whenever there’s a real snowstorm, it takes 3-4 days to hear the beeping of a backing up front loader. Been like that since I can remember which is about a week.

Funny how GB is Tertiary while Manhattan Beach, Bergen Beach and Mill Basin are all peninsula’s but are labeled secondary and primary. Come to think of it on that map GB is the ONLY tertiary neighborhood.

It’s a lot more work compared to other areas clearing out GB since there is nowhere to put the snow. At least in the old section. I don’t know why the new section would be thirtiary.

We are always treated like secondhand citizens and we let them get away with it!
I think that is because all we do it complain about each other in turn people laugh at this neighborhood, we are a joke , We get no respect from the powers that be. I have heard what people say about Gerritsen Beach residents and it is so embarrassing that don’t tell people that I live in GB.. Let’s finally start acting like we have some class and not put our dirty laundry all over this board and start acting more respectable, and maybe we will get more respect. I don’t see them ignoring other neighborhoods , they would never get away with it. Just like our bus service!! Oh Sorry… that’s right they can’t cut service in other areas because people have to go to work!
Sorry but that map just set me OFF LOL

I’ve lived in Sunset park, no paradise. Lived in Bay Ridge and was better. Now I live in GB and I am proud to have my friends over the house. I like it here.
As far as the bus service goes, are you implying that the residences of GB do not work?

When there is 6-8 inches of snow, you don’t see one plow. This is common here. Saturday night into Sunday morning they came down my block 5 times and kept me and my wife up most of the night. I suppose the DOS will pat themselves on the back and say they were prepared and did a good job. At 4:00 am I was awake from the plow that came down at 2:00am and watched the second driver plow, make tons of noise for a dusting on the street. All he had to do was spray salt.

I simply can not tell one anonymous from another anonymous or any variation of the name.
I tried to figure out who was talking to whom and I got lost in the translations.
Maybe they are each other.

I often wonder why people group themselves in one category/name.
You could use a handle and still be anonymous but by using the same handle all the time, people would start taking what you say more seriously.
(That’s provided you want what you say to be considered more seriously)
