EAST GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. — As winter weather continues to impact West Michigan, East Grand Rapids public works crews are working around-the-clock to keep roads and sidewalks clear for neighbors. Todd Cupp, who has been with East Grand Rapids Public Works for almost four years, typically leaves his Ionia home around 3 a.m. during heavy snow days to clear streets. On heavy snow days, Cupp's shifts can extend well into the afternoon. To help crews work more efficiently, neighbors are encouraged to park in driveways, help clear fire hydrants, and remain patient as plows navigate neighborhood streets.
