With a foot of snow burying the city, to say the last two weeks have been a challenge for the motoring public and city employees may be the biggest understatement of this young year.Great Bend Street Superintendent Mike Crawford said not only impacted his beleaguered Public Works Street Division, but all other departments as well. “Administration, Municipal Airport, Public Lands, Water, Water Pollution Control, Cemetery, Fire and Police departments, have all worked hard to meet the challenge of extreme cold and snow,” he said.None of this, however, has stopped complaints from winter-weary residents from piling up like the drifting blizzard. “I understand the frustration of getting stuck at an intersection or in the middle of the block of a residential street, but please keep in mind we will only clear that street on an as needed basis,” he said.
