Downtown Wantagh looking good

In downtown Wantagh, Wantagh Avenue and Jerusalem Avenue were nearly spotless, as were some side streets. Neighbors appeared to have cleared sidewalks and fire hydrants.

"I went food shopping a little while ago, it looks pretty good to me, I got around," Frank Fontana, 56, of Wantagh, said. "I’ve got no complaints, maybe other people do."

Neighbors like Jake Borgia spent some of his Tuesday afternoon shoveling snow several inches thick that caked a long stretch of his block, including in front of his home.

"I think the plow came, and this is probably from people snow blowing into the street snow from their sidewalks," Borgia, 22, of Wantagh, said. He said his neighbors are used to plows coming by to clean up the snow strewn from the sidewalk to the road, but it appeared some cleared their sidewalks too late.

"Typically they do plow, but they’re never here the day after [a storm]," Borgia added. "I think the last time the plow came was about 3 p.m. yesterday."
