Lansing snow plows

In the 18 years that I have worked in Lansing, I have seen a lot of different things.   I have seen people out side of the Capital daily protesting the fact that the dome is no longer lit at night.  I have seen hundreds of motorcycle riders protesting the helmet law.  I have seen KKK rallies.  But, in all of the years that I have worked here, I have never seen a Lansing snow plow.  In fact, it has been my belief that Lansing does not own a snow plow.

That fact that I have never seen a Lansing snow plow is reinforced by the fact that I have never seen the streets of Lansing plowed.  Every time that it snows, both cars and people wade through the snow in the streets until it eventually melts.   In fact, I think city feels that it will all melt come spring so why bother plowing it?

Now, the residence of Lansing claims that Lansing does plow its streets.  However, they are also the ones who complain that the street that they live on hasn’t been plowed.  Go figure.

I think that part of the confusion lies in the fact that there are about a dozen state highways running through the Lansing area.  The state highways, of course, are maintained by the state and not the city.  So, if you drive through snow long enough, you will eventually reach a state highway which provides the main arteries for travel in the city.

If you take a state map and look at the city of Lansing you will notice that some of the roads are gray while others are in color.  The roads that are gray are city streets.  The reason that they are gray is because they still have snow on them.  The roads that are in color are the roads that have been plowed. They are the ones you want to get to if you are presently on a gray road.

Now, having said all of that, I did see a Lansing snowplow this morning.  At least, it sort of looked like a snow plow.  It was a pickup truck with a blade on the front and a salt shaker on the back.  It was certainly not anything heavy duty.  It looked more like something used for plowing a parking lot and not a city street.  Even Lowell has big heavy duty dump trucks with blades underneath, which it uses to plow its streets.  But, so far, I have never seen anything like that in Lansing.

Of course, the Lansing snow plow pickup truck wasn’t actually plowing snow.  It was parked in front of a donut shop.  And I pay city taxes for……?
