More than a week after winter weather walloped the region, the mayor says work is still being done to clean up.
WASHINGTON — Mayor Muriel Bowser and other District leaders provided an update on how snow clean-up efforts are going following January’s high-impact winter storm. Bowser called the snow event “unprecedented” in a press conference on Monday.
While Bowser said progress is being made in clearing District roads and sidewalks of the heavy snow-ice mixture dubbed “snowcrete,” work is still being done.
The mayor also confirmed at least two weather-related deaths over the last week, with more possibly to be confirmed. She said both deaths were people experiencing homelessness in the D.C.
