Pursuant to Local Law 28 of 2011, and on behalf of the New York City Department ("DSNY"), I am pleased to submit to you agency's Final Borough-Based Snow Plans for each borough in the City of New York.
The amount the city budgets each year for snow removal is set by a formula in the City Charter. The formula is the average of spending on snow removal in the five prior years—so the budget for 2014 is based on the actual amounts spent in fiscal years 2008–2012.
