The following announcement from the Office of City Council Speaker Christine C. Quinn was forwarded to us by our friend, Ed Jaworski, president of the Marine-Madison-Homecrest Civic Association. If memories of abandoned cars, a blizzard-crippled transit system, stranded ambulances, unplowed thoroughfares, and six-foot-high snowbanks make your blood run cold, that should be impetus enough to attend tomorrow’s hearing. Pertinent details, such as date, time, location and contact information, have been bolded:

> Dear New Yorker,

> Next **Wednesday, November 30th**, the City Council’s Committees on Public Safety and Sanitation and Solid Waste Management will be holding a joint oversight hearing on the borough-based snow plans and citywide winter emergency protocols issued by the NYC Department of Sanitation (DSNY) and the Office of Emergency Management (OEM), respectively.

> Copies of the DSNY borough-based snow plans are available at [http://www.nyc.gov/html/dsny/html/snow\_plans\_mapping/snowplans.shtml](http://www.nyc.gov/html/dsny/html/snow%5Fplans%5Fmapping/snowplans.shtml?ref=bklyner.com), and the OEM Snow Preparedness and Response Report is available at [http://www.nyc.gov/html/oem/downloads/pdf/2011snowreport.pdf](http://www.nyc.gov/html/oem/downloads/pdf/2011snowreport.pdf?ref=bklyner.com).

> We know snow removal and other snow-related issues are on many people’s mind, especially as we edge closer to winter, and anyone who wishes to is more than welcome to attend this hearing.

> **The hearing is scheduled to begin at 1 p.m. in the 14th Floor Committee Room at 250 Broadway in Lower Manhattan.**

> If you would like to testify, please be sure to register with the sergeant-of-arms on the 14th Floor. Due to increased building security procedures, please bring identification and allot some extra time for entry through the building lobby.

> You can also email your written remarks to us at **[speakerquinn@council.nyc.gov](mailto:speakerquinn@council.nyc.gov)**, and we’ll be sure to forward them to the committee’s staff.

> If you have any questions about Wednesday’s hearing, please feel free to **contact Jarret Hova in the Council’s Infrastructure Division**. He can be reached **by phone at (212) 788-9104** or **email at [jhova@council.nyc.gov](mailto:jhova@council.nyc.gov)**.
