Heads Up If You’re Driving or Taking the Bus – Steer Clear of Park Road in Mount Pleasant

IMAG1162
Euclid Street on Tuesday also with serious problems according to a reader

“Dear PoPville,

I wanted to email about Park Road to alert people as to its condition after finding myself on it this morning. Coming from Mount Pleasant it looked like Park Road had been partially cleared but once you hit the bridge it becomes clear that it is just a single rough lane that has been carved out by heavier/all wheel drive cars over the last few days. The single lane wouldn’t be a problem except it isn’t marked and I found myself in a deadlock of cars coming up Park Road into Mount Pleasant and those like myself coming down Park Road and out of Mount Pleasant. There are no turn offs so both sides are left with the only option being to either reverse to entirety of their side or hope the other side does so. I spent 30 minutes in this deadlock until enough cars behind me (there were about 10-15 cars on either side) reversed that I could follow suit back up the hill. I wanted to send this in as Park Road is a major thoroughfare and its state is dangerous both because it is unplowed and because it is unmarked as such.”
