If anyone thinks we don't have a tight-knit neighborhood, all one has to do is check out what happened during the snow removal meltdown Monday and Tuesday.
Here's what neighbors did to help neighbors after our snow removal contractor dropped the ball by failing to clear all driveways and parking areas, and essentially ignored all walkways despite promises to adhere to our contract to remove snow from those areas:
• One couple sent an email message volunteering to help neighbors in need shovel out after they got home from work.
• Another neighbor got his snowblower out of mothballs and helped clear driveways for people who needed to get out to keep a medical appointment.
• Yet another person offered to drive a neighbor to a medical appointment if Hyland Court was not plowed. Fortunately, it was plowed late Monday night and the person was able to get out.
• Still another neighbor cleared access to the mailbox gazebo after the snow removal crew blocked it with bad plow techniques.
• The THCA Board got into the action by not only haranguing the snow removal crew to return Tuesday night to clear what it had ignored, but to begin checking for alternative plowing services if the current provider does not step up his game.
Thanks from all the Terrace residents to all the other Terrace residents. It is this kind of community spirit that makes us a great place to reside.
