City residents with snow requests are encourage to email snow@salem.com.

Trash collection is normal for this week. SSU is planning to open as of right now, but that could change.

Dear Mayor
The plow drivers, most likely,contractors need to be reminded that 3/4 ton trucks with 6'
plows cannot move the amount of snow we received. Please send the cities large trucks to North Salem to push snow banks back and also clear some of the roadways.Most side streets in North Salem look like cow paths with only enough room for people to walk and participate in the newest Salem Game " Avoiding oncoming cars" Trusting nothing will happen until meltdown, I'm still paying my taxes.

I agree 100% with Harry. Some sidewalks are not shoveled and people have to walk in the street that is narrow. Then idiots go around them and cross lanes into a possible head on collision. The city needs to double there fines and triple there effort in getting these inconsiderate lazy selfish homeowners.
