West Islip Residents: When Will My Street Be Plowed?

Islip Town officials say plows are on third run but West Islip residents report little clearing activity.

After the snow, if there is one pressing question by many West Islip residents, it’s this: when will my street be plowed?

While the Town of Islip told Patch snow plows were making their third trek through the town’s 1,200 miles or roadways as of 7:30 a.m. Friday, many West Islip residents report no plow activity.

Kathleen Lichioveri Ramcke reported on Patch’s Facebook page that she had not heard any plows at all. “Not one all night,” she wrote. The same was true for Maureen Cunningham Lichioveri.

“No one on Minerva... heard plows last night when there was no accumulation,” shared Marcus.

Ye somewhere on Oak Neck a plowed showed up as Keith Ziziz said it was “well plowed by an outside contractor.”
