Why can I still do donuts in my street?!?!?

It's been a week plus about 9 hours since the blizzard of 06, and my street is still a mess. The sad part is, my Alderman lives on the same street. (Snow storm must have knocked out his phone line.) Sooner or later he's going to have to figure out how to act like a city leader, push some buttons to get things done, and at least get his street plowed!
