E. Northport Street Left Unplowed Two Days After Blizzard

With the Town nowhere to be found, residents take matters into their own hands

It was clear to the residents of Salisbury Drive, a cul-de-sac in East Northport, that they would have to take matters into their own hands after their street was left unplowed by the Town of Huntington two days after the blizzard.

Sunday morning neighbors banded together with shovels and snow blowers to tackle the two feet of snow caked across their street. Resident Nicole Repetti said her husband, a member of the NYPD Dept of Emergency Services, couldn't afford to miss another day of work.

"I understand getting to the main roads first," she wrote, "but overnight (or this morning) I would have expected the road to be plowed. God forbid there was an emergency, help would not reach us. Unacceptable!"
