Almost seven dozen trucks will be on standby and ready to hit the road this weekend as Cincinnati prepares for the blizzard. This should help allay the concerns of many local residents who criticized the response to the road clearance this week. “We’ve never had a problem with it ever. We are usually the first place to salt (and) the first place to plow. I don’t even know if we were salted, ”said James Schrems. Schemems said the hills were covered with a sheet of ice and then snow came over us. He said he was surprised by what appeared to be a limited response from the city. The city said staffing was an issue. Only 47 trucks were on the road for 52 districts on Wednesday evening. There are usually at least 700 trucks available. The city is reminding everyone to give crews space to work, use off-street parking, pack emergency equipment, and expect ice on bridge underpasses or hills. “Usually they’re right above it,” said Schrems.
