Asking “why” yielded a typical answer, “duh, it was icy.” But Mayor Ed Gainey had promised to be serious about a safe, welcoming and thriving city. Part of that promise was to make sure City workers don’t get hurt. So, the process that the Mayor and his team created to eliminate safety incidents continued.
