�Today we woke up after the second major storm of the season, and New York City showed itself to be much better prepared than in December�s blizzard. The Bloomberg Administration deserves credit for a significantly improved response that led to fewer vehicles stranded on the roads and faster plowing on side streets.� The City also did a better job clearing hospitals, with the streets surrounding all 55 hospitals tracked on my office�s �Hospital Watch� plowed at least once by 9am this morning. There were 10 hospitals that needed another pass by snow plows, and I appreciate the City responding quickly to our reports and dispatching help. It must be our goal to keep all hospitals clear from the moment snow begins falling.
I am deeply concerned by reports of one hundred passengers left stranded overnight on a Coney Island-bound N train. December�s blizzard made clear the need to never abandon passengers without recourse. The MTA must do a better job looking out for its riders during emergencies.�

Utter nonsense! Nothing has to do with a “better response.” This snow was not a blizzard. Therefore, although they didn’t plow even the main streets, like 13th avenue, cars weren’t stuck.
