Skip the snow brush today and hop on the warm bus instead! Easy, convenient and safer than driving yourself! Let us get you there. ❄️
Imagine an elevated metro system with solar panels on top of a plexiglass curved roof to power the entire system, contain the noise, and keep snow off the street below.
I could hop on a warm bus if the stops were clear of snow & ice but that usually takes 3 or 4 days
It's not good to put off for today to do it tomorrow
The #EmpireSkatePlaza Ice Rink is CLOSED today, February 13 for maintenance.
