Creve Coeur public works crews are getting praise for their work to clear roads over the weekend.

What did you do when the Sunday storm dumped plenty of snow, changing plenty of people's plans?
Creve Coeur Mayor Barry Glantz's family dinner plans were wiped out, so he decided o see firsthand how the snow got cleared out, taking a ride with a Public Works crew on snowplow duty.
"It was fun," he said after Tuesday night's city council meeting, where he mentioned the outing and applauded the work done by city crews. Public Works Director Jim Heines was out on weekend plow dutiy as well because of employee illnesses. Heines added that Creve Coeur crews did assist MoDOT crews on Lindbergh, Olive Boulevard and Ladue Road early Sunday by putting their plows down in the righthand lane en route to their city routes.
