BOT is facing our eighth year in a row of budget cuts. While everything gets more and more expensive, we have less money each year. Our streets are deteriorating, our bridges are aging, and we can't afford to make the safety improvements you are asking for.

This is an appreciation post to all the Portlanders stocking up on ice melt, buying snow shovels, checking emergency kits, and making plans with neighbors…like this Redditor who’s taking responsibility for the PNW’s nearly record low snow levels (we don’t think it’s your fault).

We may not have been naming snowplows back then, but city workers have always cleared snow during winter storms. This photo, from Jan. 4, 1958 shows two people using shovels and a scooper truck to clear snow from SW 6th Avenue and Yamhill Street.
