STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. \u2014 A week after a monster storm encrusted Staten Island in ice and snow, removal is continuing to hassle residents with uncleared stretches of sidewalk.<\/p>\n

An Advance\/SILive.com employee spotted a clip of sidewalk on Hylan Boulevard near Oak Avenue still icily encased in the remnants of the snow.<\/p>\n

Beyond the mess, a S78 and S57 bus stop has a precariously cleared path, about a shovel-width wide. A mass of dirty snow and ice beyond knee-high surrounds the stop. <\/p>\n

The employee additionally spotted heavy-duty equipment scooping bucketloads of crusty ice and thick snow away from the street near Hylan Boulevard and Chesterton Avenue, Oakwood.<\/p>\n

The storm dumped over a foot of snow on the borough on Jan. 25, and with temperatures struggling to climb above freezing, folks have struggled to find parking spots and clear walkways. <\/p>\n

A spokesperson for the New York City Department of Sanitation assured that the department continues to aid Staten Islanders in the cleanup. <\/p>\n

\u201cKnowing that many property owners did not shovel their adjacent unsheltered bus stops and crosswalks as required, DSNY is putting a very heavy emphasis on assisting property owners in this work. We had a massive Staten Island operation out in full force this weekend<\/a>, widening bus lanes and reopening pathways between the sidewalks and streets at bus stops,\u201d the spokesperson said. <\/p>\n

The spokesperson added, \u201cCitywide, we continue to have 2,500 Sanitation Workers on every 12-hour shift, as well as 500 hourly personnel focusing on this infrastructure. In addition, we have 300 people operating specialized equipment via outside emergency contracts.\u201d <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. \u2014 A week after a monster storm encrusted Staten Island in ice and snow, removal…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":119271,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[39],"tags":[9,24,63,134,136,135],"class_list":{"0":"post-119270","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-staten-island","8":"tag-new-york","9":"tag-new-york-city","10":"tag-nyc","11":"tag-staten-island","12":"tag-staten-island-headlines","13":"tag-staten-island-news"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/119270","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=119270"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/119270\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/119271"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=119270"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=119270"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=119270"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
