Snow plowing not good in Lisle

Where are the plows in Lisle? In more than 21 years as a Lisle resident I have never seen our streets so poorly maintained. Not only are the plows more scarce, they are flat out not doing a good job. It is not only our side streets. Green Trails Road, College Avenue and Maple Ave are all a mess and dangerous. Tire ruts and street narrowing because of what looks like a "only one pass policy" are the norm, especially in the Green Trails subdivision. I understand that salt use will be down (and it certainly is as announced) but plowing policies and/or inexperienced plow operators are making Lisle a miserable place to live, let alone shop or work in the winter. The U.S. Postal Service has slowed to a crawl with recent snows. Not because of the amount of snow, but because the plows are no where near the curb when they make their "one pass." Postal employees and other delivery services are having to get out of their vehicles just because of the poor workmanship of the plow operators. It's either poor training or poor policy, one or the other.
