SUMMARY: The roads in All America City were almost impossible to drive on, causing inconvenience and frustration for residents. The Public Works department is working to make improvements to the roads, but they were not fully prepared for the recent ice event. The city has been salting and plowing the roads, and are considering adding another plow to the fleet. The department asks residents to be patient as they work to clear the roads. The city is also planning to meet with the mayor to discuss better preparation for future ice events. Despite the challenges, the Public Works department is working hard to clear the roads.
