This section should be added to the recently distributed "list of narrow streets," lest our insurance companies find out our municipality cannot effectively plow streets for emergency personnel to pass through, and our rates rocket up.

I, too, witnessed the "firetruck test" yesterday, and was horrified when, after about 10 minutes of blaring the horn, neighbors finally came out to move 2 vehicles to let it pass AND THEY RETURNED TO THEIR ORIGINAL PARKING SPOTS.
So, are we to understand that, should any of the 3 apartment buildings, or roughly 7 houses catch fire, or someone should require an ambulance, this will be the method of response? Stop at the top of the block, blare horn, wait for neighbors to respond, dress, come outside, and finally ATTEMPT to remove their cars from their ice-encased parking spots? Then, respond to the emergency.
