Speaker 2: Storm twenty twenty five News Radio eight forty whas. All right,
Speaker 2: welcome back, Tony and to my show with Dave Jennings.
Speaker 2: We're bringing the mayor right now. Craig Greenberg, How are you, sir.
Speaker 6: I'm doing well, you know, as well as you can.
Speaker 6: And I'm just really staying thankful that we've got so
Speaker 6: many folks that have been out there working twenty four
Speaker 6: to seven in preparation for the storm and since the
Speaker 6: storm began, and they're going to keep working. And the
Speaker 6: snow might be stopping here in a couple hours, but
Speaker 6: we're gonna keep going until we get all the roads clear.
Speaker 2: All right. I will not say it's complaint free, but
Speaker 2: really have done a great job. As a media member,
Speaker 2: I haven't. I've been trying to monitor as much as
Speaker 2: I can. But it seems like everybody you have put
Speaker 2: in place, and with scraping the roads, getting the salt
Speaker 2: down the police, ems that everything has moved smoothly up,
Speaker 2: you know, and until this moment, so right, is a
Speaker 2: good job everybody.
Speaker 6: I'm a good job everybody. I'm knocking on wood. I
Speaker 6: know everybody's you know. We're executing the plan. We had
Speaker 6: very detailed plans. We got ready for it. We have,
Speaker 6: you know, four salt domes that are fully that were
Speaker 6: fully stocked. We've got underground salt reserves if necessary. We've
Speaker 6: got plenty of equipment, We've got plenty of salt. We've
Speaker 6: got the people, and they're working their butts off out there,
Speaker 6: and I'm really and thankful for them. But you know
Speaker 6: what I do. Once the precipitation stops here, you know, afternoon,
Speaker 6: and we still need a little bit of time, because
Speaker 6: that's the thing is Mother Nature is not helping us
Speaker 6: out with this one tony. There's no sunshine, it's not
Speaker 6: getting warmer. We've got to do it all with plows
Speaker 6: and salts. So we're gonna keep going even after the
Speaker 6: snow stops here in a little bit, and if people
Speaker 6: can just be patient for the rest of the day,
Speaker 6: you know, through the night by I'm hoping that tomorrow
Speaker 6: we see you see you see it even better than
Speaker 6: it is. I've been out all around the city this
Speaker 6: morning as well. Interstates are looking much better than they
Speaker 6: were yesterday. The main roads like Barstown Road, Popular Level
Speaker 6: out of Loop, those are looking much better, you know,
Speaker 6: but there's still some secondary roads that will never hit,
Speaker 6: so people still have to be careful out there.
Speaker 4: I actually thought about you yesterday afternoon, Mary of Greenberg,
Speaker 4: because my wife Susan was filding calls and emails and
Speaker 4: you know, it's totally out of her control, and I thought, man,
Speaker 4: if she is working this much, how much are council
Speaker 4: people and the mayor work. And do you get a
Speaker 4: lot of I guess emails and calls from your constituents
Speaker 4: when this.
Speaker 1: Is going on.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I certainly do. And actually there helpful because it
Speaker 6: helps me troubleshoot either a particular issue that's just like
Speaker 6: sort of a one off issue, or identify issues that
Speaker 6: we can improve with the process. You know. For example,
Speaker 6: one thing that we're working on is we've got a
Speaker 6: snow map that shows when we have plowed the routes,
Speaker 6: and sometimes people I've got a couple of text from
Speaker 6: people that says, you're the map showing it's plowed, but
Speaker 6: it doesn't look like it. And what I've realized is, yeah,
Speaker 6: the snow was the road was plowed, but it was
Speaker 6: plowed eight hours ago, and we were getting inch and
Speaker 6: a half or so an hour, and so it doesn't
Speaker 6: look like it's been plowed, but it was. And so
Speaker 6: you know, maybe that's something we can improve with the mapping.
Speaker 6: It's not it's it's accurate, it's just uh so, yeah,
Speaker 6: it's it's helpful to get that feedback, so we could,
Speaker 6: you know, always looking for ways that we can continue
Speaker 6: to improve.
Speaker 3: This is your first experience with a snowmaged and how
Speaker 3: has it been. What were some of the biggest challenges.
Speaker 6: Well, I think it's it's you know, what is its
Speaker 6: big snowfall we've had in twenty five years, A little
Speaker 6: bit of you know, it's the good news is that
Speaker 6: we had a good plan in place. We've been prepared
Speaker 6: for this, even if it's not necessary. We get prepared
Speaker 6: every year and the team is executing. We've got hundreds
Speaker 6: of people out there, We've got one hundred and ten
Speaker 6: snow routes, what is it, twenty one hundred miles twenty
Speaker 6: seven hundred miles of lanes that we plow and salt,
Speaker 6: and you just hope that everyone executes the plan. Well. Again,
Speaker 6: mother nature is not cooperating. But so far, I've just
Speaker 6: been really really proud of the team that's been the
Speaker 6: biggest nerves because last night, for example, didn't know how
Speaker 6: much ice we were going to get, was very concerned
Speaker 6: about power outages all across the county. Fortunately, we do
Speaker 6: have some, but not nearly as much as we thought
Speaker 6: we were going to have. And so I'm just proud
Speaker 6: of the team that's working their tails off and will
Speaker 6: continue to work twenty four to seven for as long
Speaker 6: as we need.
Speaker 2: You know, when a college coach loses a football game,
Speaker 2: he gets the call from his athletic director, but then
Speaker 2: the big donor calls, right, so he's got an answer
Speaker 2: to the big donor, does how when this is all over,
Speaker 2: will you call ups and go, hey, how do we do?
Speaker 2: Because you know, we all know the history of ups
Speaker 2: and snowstorms and how Abramson had to really sort of
Speaker 2: reinvent the wheel in trying to get this thing done
Speaker 2: and turned around after the ninety four Whether the businesses
Speaker 2: obviously need to some of them, they have to stay open.
Speaker 2: UPS has to keep moving, right, So where are we
Speaker 2: with that?
Speaker 6: Well, yes, that's a good example. So we have been
Speaker 6: in direct contact with UPS during the whole storm to
Speaker 6: make sure, you know, their employees could get to and
Speaker 6: from work. The folks at the airport doing everything they
Speaker 6: can to keep the airport operational. And so my understanding,
Speaker 6: I'll let UPS speak for MI understanding is they're you know,
Speaker 6: going back at it in terms of sorting tonight. I
Speaker 6: got some positive feedback from from UPS late yesterday, but
Speaker 6: we are in very close touch with them and other
Speaker 6: large employers and other you know, key groups around the
Speaker 6: entire commit unity.
Speaker 2: I'm sorry follow up there. So here's what I loved
Speaker 2: that when you said yesterday or two days ago, now
Speaker 2: it's all mixed in there. I can't remember what presence
Speaker 2: it was, but you said that you all were. So
Speaker 2: here's where they're helping us. So the the the weather
Speaker 2: information from inside the planes that are flying in, we're
Speaker 2: gonna help you all assist you all and what the
Speaker 2: what was happening? I thought that was awesome.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean they have some the best technology and
Speaker 6: radar and all of that that does inform the National
Speaker 6: Weather Service. So we have a unique advantage here in
Speaker 6: Louisville with respect to you know, what's what's going on
Speaker 6: in the National Web Service. I mean, they got this
Speaker 6: one right. I know some people are always, you know,
Speaker 6: critical of predictions, but this one they got right. I'm
Speaker 6: glad and I'm really thankful to the entire community. I
Speaker 6: think people have heated warnings. Yesterday, I was a little
Speaker 6: concerned when I was out and about. I thought there
Speaker 6: were a lot of cars on the road, more than
Speaker 6: should be. It's it's been pretty quiet today. That gives
Speaker 6: our plows the ability to get through to get their
Speaker 6: work done. And you know, if you can a roads,
Speaker 6: it's a couple of quick things. You know, people should
Speaker 6: know that not every road gets touched. We have one
Speaker 6: hundred and ten routes with twenty seven hundred miles of
Speaker 6: lanes as I mentioned. But for example, I live on
Speaker 6: a city street, but it's a smaller street. It never
Speaker 6: gets plowed, and it's not in getting to the main
Speaker 6: roads and also sidewalks. Sidewalks are the responsibility of the
Speaker 6: homeowner or the business owner or the renter. The city
Speaker 6: does for its property, but for non city property, the
Speaker 6: owners of the property are responsible for the sidewalks, So
Speaker 6: just want people should be aware of that as well.
Speaker 4: Talking with Mark Craig Greenberg Snowmageddon twenty twenty five, it
Speaker 4: didn't take as long in the first year to get this.
Speaker 4: The first question is you said we have twenty seven
Speaker 4: hundred miles and I guess one hundred trucks that's basically
Speaker 4: driving to Los Angeles. How long does it take if
Speaker 4: you're fully staffed, how long does it take the crews
Speaker 4: to cover that.
Speaker 1: Twenty seven hundred miles?
Speaker 4: And secondary question, do we have any cool snowplow names
Speaker 4: like Betty wide Out or the Big Laplowski or anything
Speaker 4: like that.
Speaker 6: Well, let me get to that second question. In the
Speaker 6: second here, Dwight, one hundred and ten routes, we don't
Speaker 6: have one hundred and ten trucks. We probably will more
Speaker 6: than that one hundred and ten routes twenty seven hundred
Speaker 6: lane miles. So if you've got like Herstborm Lane, for example,
Speaker 6: you know it's a four lane road that's included in there.
Speaker 6: It takes six hours if we're just salting, it takes
Speaker 6: six hours to do a complete route. If we're plowing
Speaker 6: and salting, when the trucks have to drive a little
Speaker 6: bit slower, it takes about ten to twelve hours so
Speaker 6: to do a complete route. So every street now in Louisville,
Speaker 6: well nearly every street that's on the route, has been
Speaker 6: hit twice with both initially either just salt or salt
Speaker 6: and plow with its accumulation had started yesterday morning and
Speaker 6: now plowed again. They're going to be hit a third,
Speaker 6: maybe a fourth time as needed. But yes, it takes
Speaker 6: six hours for assaulting, twelve hours for plowing. Also could
Speaker 6: pick up to that much. And in terms of names,
Speaker 6: I'm not aware, but you know, we did have this
Speaker 6: thing with some jp JCPS schools where they painted some
Speaker 6: of the plows, and so some of the plows are
Speaker 6: really cool because some school keeps plaint the plows. But
Speaker 6: I'd like to say for the next one, you gave
Speaker 6: me a good idea. We'll have to get some good
Speaker 6: names before Louisville Parade.
Speaker 1: How about this one? Control sought delete.
Speaker 5: That's one of my favorite.
Speaker 6: That's a good one.
Speaker 2: That's a good one.
Speaker 3: So how much of city government and its agencies are
Speaker 3: shut down today and what's the plan moving forward?
Speaker 6: So right now, nobody is shut down entirely as far
Speaker 6: as I know. We have our our libraries that are
Speaker 6: open as warming centers. You know, we're expecting also in
Speaker 6: case we have power outages where people could go recharge.
Speaker 6: We have other shelters too. Tark is operating on a
Speaker 6: very reduced schedule today because you're waiting for the road
Speaker 6: conditions to get a little bit better, So people should
Speaker 6: check the Tark route before we people are working remotely.
Speaker 6: The only closure I'm aware of is the zoo. The
Speaker 6: zoo is closed today and we've got people working remotely.
Speaker 6: But otherwise, you know, we're at it. We have to
Speaker 6: be able to serve the public in times like this
Speaker 6: that that's when people rely on government the most. And
Speaker 6: sunny days in the middle of June, they're not thinking
Speaker 6: about what we're doing here at the city government. But
Speaker 6: today people want to know that Metro government's working for
Speaker 6: them and they're getting a bang for their buck with
Speaker 6: their tax don.
Speaker 5: The polar Bears are like, damn this is my time
Speaker 5: to shine.
Speaker 6: Man other people.
Speaker 2: That's right, But let's make no mistake here. We are
Speaker 2: not in We didn't finish the game here. We're in
Speaker 2: about the third quarter of this weather event. So so
Speaker 2: people that are listening to it right now, listening to
Speaker 2: us right now, when are you going to speak again
Speaker 2: to the city And then I know Vashir just spoke.
Speaker 2: I don't know if you were involved with that or not,
Speaker 2: but when are you going to do another update? Because
Speaker 2: it looks like those the temperatures. You know, we talked
Speaker 2: to Kelly Jones from Metro and he's like, look, the
Speaker 2: temperatures are going to go in the teams. This is
Speaker 2: going to get d for tomorrow morning. So we're not
Speaker 2: finished yet. We don't have the ball in the end
Speaker 2: zone just yet. So where are we at with your
Speaker 2: all's coverage and where are you going to move from here?
Speaker 6: Yeah, so at noon today, so just about an hour
Speaker 6: and fifteen minutes, I'm going to do another briefing. You
Speaker 6: can watch on any one of our social media channels
Speaker 6: or on Metro TV's YouTube. Some of the stations might
Speaker 6: cover it as well. But at noon today we'll do
Speaker 6: another briefing and my big message is going to be.
Speaker 6: I'll give you a preview of the message. It's going
Speaker 6: to be that I know the snow is getting ready
Speaker 6: to stop. Thank you for heeding the warnings. Give us
Speaker 6: a little bit more time once the precipitation ends to
Speaker 6: continue to get the road salted and plowed to make
Speaker 6: it safer for everybody to get back to normal. But
Speaker 6: even when it does, you've got to be careful because
Speaker 6: again there're gonna be secondary roads that are not plowed.
Speaker 6: It is going to be freezing cold. Mother Nature is
Speaker 6: not helping us on this one. There's no sunshine, there's
Speaker 6: no warmth coming. We're you know, expecting snow again on Friday.
Speaker 6: So please be patient with us and give us a
Speaker 6: little bit more time this afternoon. But that's my message,
Speaker 6: not to the community today.
Speaker 2: All right, we'll let you go go to that. And
Speaker 2: do you have a special bad weather like varsity jacket
Speaker 2: with the mayor's symbol them on it? Because you know
Speaker 2: the President does that every once in a while where
Speaker 2: he has the special I'm going to work jacket, you know,
Speaker 2: do you have one of those?
Speaker 6: Well, it's funny that you should ask, because I am
Speaker 6: wearing a three quarter zip. I'm not going on day
Speaker 6: three of wearing the same three quarter zip that does
Speaker 6: have a you know, Louisville metro government logo on it.
Speaker 6: It did change my shirt today.
Speaker 1: I got oh good.
Speaker 2: Appreciates that.
Speaker 6: It's funny that you mentioned that, because a couple of
Speaker 6: my colleagues did say to me, have you washed that
Speaker 6: a few of those and I said, nope, you might
Speaker 6: want to stay away. I'm going to wash it tonight, though.
Speaker 6: We save a little bit of detergent for me when
Speaker 6: I get home tonight because I'm watching it Washington, Yes, tonight.
Speaker 2: We appreciate a mayor that is out in the elements
Speaker 2: and not changing his quarter zip for three days. Not
Speaker 2: all mayors do that. Great job. We love you, Craig.
Speaker 2: We'll talk to you soon, buddy.
Speaker 6: Thank you all, Thank you having you man well.
Speaker 2: Bent Rachel's like, yeah, yeah, I know you haven't watched it. Now.
Speaker 5: You need to stay in that room there.
Speaker 4: I can't believe that it covers twenty seven hundred miles
Speaker 4: with plowing and salt within twelve ten to twelve hours.
Speaker 6: Well.
Speaker 2: We talked to Kelly Jones earlier and he said, think
Speaker 2: about it from ninety four to today, how many more
Speaker 2: roads have been paved and neighborhoods have been created in
Speaker 2: all that stuff to where and he's right, and the
Speaker 2: mayor's right. Hirstborn is five six lanes, so that's not
Speaker 2: just plowing, Hirshborne, You've got five lanes of that to plow.
Speaker 2: It's crazy.
Speaker 4: Great from email, Thank you Dave, Dwight and Tony for
Speaker 4: being on the air, even though Dwight's gate won't open.
