Derby Mayor Anthony Staffieri said Tuesday Public Works crews are progressing well in their cleanup efforts.
“We’re making some significant progress,” he said.
“Public Works is continuing to get rid of snow on downtown streets where all the traffic is,” Staffieri said.
“The big push is on removing snow from intersections," he said.
The snow is being dumped on city property behind Derby Feed Co. on lower Caroline Street.
He said Senior Center Director Sarah Muoio “has been doing a great job” making sure elderly residents were doing okay after the storm. He said she had delivered food to some senior citizens, since TEAM’s Meals on Wheels program was not in operation.
Muoio said she made phone calls to seniors to check on them and found most of them had gotten help with shoveling from relatives or friends’ children. Muoio, who lives in Derby, said she saw a lot of residents taking care of their elderly neighbors.
In Ansonia, Mayor James DellaVolpe issued a Code Red alert Tuesday afternoon.
He said, “The process of opening a lane of travel on all city roads has been completed. We are now beginning the process of widening the roadways. As streets are widened, your driveways may become partially blocked. We apologize in advance but this is a necessary part of our snow clearing efforts. The City of Ansonia has hired multiple private contractors to assist your road crews with snow removal. We ask for residents to be patient and understanding of the task being performed by your road crews.
“Additionally, residents should be very cautious about walking in the narrowed roadways. We are asking for assistance from residents in helping to clear sidewalks in front of your residences and businesses, especially in areas of known bus stops, so that we can begin to return to a normal schedule.
“The parking ban on all city streets is still in effect. Residents are reminded that no vehicle may be parked on a city street during this time.
“All City buildings will be closed on Wednesday, February 13. City Hall and the Library will reopen on Thursday, February 14, however the Senior Center will remain closed.
“All schools will be closed on Wednesday February 13.
“Garbage pickup will resume on Wednesday in the 3rd Ward and continue as normal. Wards 1 and 2 will commence with the normal pickups beginning on Monday, February 18."
