Stupid stupid plows
ChadTower:
I think the guy plowing our neighborhood friday night was trashed. He took out a bunch of mailboxes, dug up some front yard pieces... at our house, he drove through our 5' front bushes, dug them up entirely along with about 6" of soil, and stopped just shy of hitting the 4 story maple tree behind them. This is the worst example but we've had similar damage every freakin winter from these plow guys. This guy drove straight through our bushes perpendicular to the road. :banghead: :banghead:
Now we have a giant gap in the front bushes for no apparent reason.
horseboy:
Are you going to do anything about it? Is there any legal action you can take here?
ChadTower:
Not really, since I can't prove what truck did it, and our town uses all contractors. Plus many people hire guys with plows for side work that has nothing to do with the town. The monetary damage isn't much, really, it's the principle. I will probably have to replace the damaged bushes, which is in the middle of a row of mature plants, and it will be hard to match the exact species as well as waiting for new ones to integrate themselves fully. That last part could take a couple years at least.
shardian:
You can sue the town.
ChadTower:
For what? The price of a few plants? The monetary damage is almost negligible and without being able to prove it was a town contracted plow, I don't have any standing anyway.
