Ice from freezing rain covers electric meters in an alley between Massachusetts and New Hampshire streets. Rising temperatures aided road crews in clearing streets yesterday.
Maintenance keeps streets safe
By Brett Riggs
Kansan staff writer
Slips, slides, sprains and strains usually go hand in hand with winter weather, but thanks to careful driving and the efforts of road crews, Lawrence and KU campus streets stayed relatively injury-free yesterday.
"We even began putting more snow on the roads to cover the ice." Helsel said. "We sanded Monday night until 11 p.m. and then we put urea chemicals, made of ammonium nitrate, and salt on the roads at about 5:30 on Tuesday morning."
Stephen Helsel, associate director of facilities operations, said that campus roads were slick yesterday morning, but that his staff used a mixture of chemicals, salt and sand to clear the roads.
Watkins Health Center only reported eight injuries as of early last evening. Charles Yockey, chief of staff, admitted that the Watkins' staff generally expected more injuries in such weather.
Helsel said that his staff has been forced to use salt sparingly in case the bad weather continues.
"It got icy overnight, but we had the streets in pretty good shape by 8 a.m.," Orzulak said.
"I have worked for KU police for 22 years, and winter maintenance, mainly Stephen Helsel and his staff, have always done a phenomenal job," Mullens said.
"It is going to be two weeks before we can get more salt, so we only use it as much as we have to." Helsel said.
LJ John Mullens of KU police credited much of the safe campus traffic to the work of facilities operations.
Tom Orzulak, maintenance manager for the street division of Lawrence Public Works, said that his staff has been working around the clock since Thursday morning to clear the city's streets.
"The worse the weather is, the more
Yesterday's forecast called for a mixture of freezing rain and snow, but the National Weather Service said that a high of 36 degrees caused by south winds and a slow-moving cold front produced freezing rain in the morning and only rain in the afternoon. The service is predicting colder temperatures today, with a high of 25 degrees, under sunny skies.
cautious people are," Yockey said. "The injuries have generally been from walking, driving and sledding accidents."
