Buchanan said Mat dty residents, ' too, complain about driveways full of snow. But he added that some of them will simply have to grab a snow shovel and get to work. The dty cannot be responsible for private sidewalks and with vehicles left on county roads, but a common complaint from county residents is that driveways aren't plowed. "But," added Mitchell, "we just don't have time to do that" The situation in the cities is a little different Maintenance superintendent Bernell Buchanan said that there are for too many vehicles parked on dty in streets, and "there isn't town where this isn't a problem." Boats and travel trailers, as well as automobiles, are left at curbside, often all winter, and create the problem of where to put the snow, Buchanan said. The dty operates two snow plows, a grader and a backhoe, which is used to haul the snow away, and ordinarily this equipment is sufficient to do tin job. But with vehicles on the street, that makes it possible for area residents to get around" when the sky has dumped the white stuff. Duchesne County operates eight now plows, six of which are equipped with senders, and seven motor graders. County crews, according to county road supervisor Lynn Mitchell, are responsible for approximately 1,100 miles of eounty roads, and keep nearly 800 miles of roads open during the winter. Mitchell .said it requires double shifts to do it all when it snows, and . that he gets up two to three times during every winter night to check the weather, in order to get the equipment out as it is needed. ' He said the countv has little trouble driveways. One of Roosevelt's snow plows is equipped with a sender, and dty crews try and work with the police and sand intersections, especially near stop signs, ss quickly as possible.
