These types of weather-related traffic issues and calls for police assistance are common occurrences in Hunting Valley and other Northeast Ohio communities during the winter months, highlighting the need for effective emergency response and coordination between local authorities and private entities like tree service companies.

The details

On February 4th, police responded to a report of a tree service company blocking the Route 91 entry road to the Daisy Hill and Roundwood Road private residential neighborhood, preventing a motorist from getting past. Officers left the scene about 10 minutes later after the crew finished their work, allowing traffic to proceed. On February 6th, University School officials called for a police officer to conduct a foot patrol, though it was unclear if the patrol was inside the school, around the campus, or both. Additionally, police responded to more than half a dozen weather-related calls during the first week of February involving disabled vehicles that had broken down or gotten stuck in the snow, requiring assistance.
