More than a week after the big winter storm hit, the city of St. Louis is coming under fire for not treating side streets plowing areas where people’s homes are.

As temperatures rise in the region, fewer businesses offer snow removal and so when the need for help does arise, existing snow removal companies are inundated with requests.

Comptroller Darlene Green said she'd approve an emergency expenditure to get contractors to clear the streets before the city has its next deep freeze temperatures.

The winter storm has officially moved out of the St. Louis region, as numerous winter storm warnings expired for the area early Monday morning. Area roads are still being cleared by IDOT and MODOT, so drivers are urged to delay travel or postpone plans Monday.

Ten days since a strong winter storm slammed the St. Louis region, and five days since a second round of snow, some customers tell FOX 2 that they haven't received any mail deliveries.

In anticipation of severe weather, multiple airlines have canceled or reduced their flights into and out of St. Louis.

A lot of people are blaming the school district, but it’s not their fault. They’ve had to call off school because the streets are not safe,” said one citizen.

More than a week after the big winter storm hit, St. Louis City is taking heat for not plowing or treating side streets.
