Not That It Will Get Any Useful Response

I sent the following to Councilperson Bender:

"While I'm sure that the city regards it as "business as usual", it is unconscionable/unacceptable that the city dumped 7 cubic yards of snow at the end of my driveway (preventing me from going to work) and expects me to do the work of clearing it off. It's especially unacceptable when the alley exit next to my driveway had absolutely no snow deposited. It's clear that city crews could work in a way that didn't impose a burden on residents/taxpayers, and that they choose not to."

I definitely mean every word. They'll charge me for not clearing my sidewalks, why do they get a free pass for being lazy and dumping snow from the street on my driveway, trapping me inside my garage?

Edited:

And to add insult to injury, just after I got out of my second shower of the day, I received a call from mizzlaurajean - she was going with A to Babushka Betty's and she couldn't get out of the driveway. The city had made another pass, and once again deposited a pile of snow in front of our driveway (leaving the mouth of the adjacent alley clear).

I'm pretty sure anything we put up would not be legal as it would have to be on the blvd which is city property.
