The late Mayor Tom Menino would have never let this happen.

Three days after a major snowstorm hit Boston with nearly two feet of snow, many sidewalks and side streets remain snow-clogged – forcing people and children to take their chances walking in the slushy streets.

Hyde Park Avenue was like the Wild Wild West, with motorists dodging huge snow banks, pedestrians, school children and MBTA bus riders who were forced off the sidewalks. Some frustrated homeowners simply tossed the snow into the middle of the streets.

It’s wintertime in Wutopia.

The entire city is a Slip and Fall case for Morgan & Morgan.

And where is Mayor Michelle Wu?

Off to Washington D.C. to hobnob with the elite, burnish her national credentials and brag about the city’s alleged low crime rate.

Wu apparently thinks it’s fine to leave the city in such a dangerous condition, which is squarely the fault of her administration.

Wu deserves an F for storm cleanup in Boston, which is still plagued by unsafe conditions for pedestrians and motorists.

And no excuses about how property owners should be shoveling their own sidewalks and fire hydrants so they’re clear three hours after the end of a storm. That’s a cop out.

After getting hit with a 13% property tax hike, it’s an insult to injury to force people out into the frigid air to shovel heavy wet snow. Tell that to the emergency doctors treating a surge in heart attacks this week.

Menino prided himself as an “urban mechanic” who got the streets plowed on time and on budget.

“If we work together as a city, we’ll keep things running smoothly during the winter months,” Menino wrote in a newspaper column in 2009.

And when that didn’t happen, he owned up to it.

After a 20-inch snowstorm in Feb. 2013, Menino publicly apologized for the slow pace of cleanup, which left many side streets and sidewalks impassable. Schools were closed for three days, which further irked Menino.

The mayor blamed the slow cleanup on the plow contractors but also took responsibility, and launched a full investigation of the Public Works Department’s poor performance.

“We’ll get there as quickly as possible,” he promised. “Sometimes you have to be patient in a storm of this magnitude.”

Even Gov. Deval Patrick was smart enough not to flee the city in the middle of the storm’s aftermath, and toured the flooded homes and streets in Scituate.

When he was mayor, Raymond L. Flynn rode with the snowplow drivers to oversee storm cleanup. It created an indelible image in residents’ minds and was a big reason Flynn got re-elected handily.

In the Sunday storm this week, Wu phoned it in – literally. She called in to local TV stations to give updates on the cleanup and posted on social media about how much snow was removed from roadways and crosswalks.

“Thank you to our Public Works teams working 24/7 to clear the snow,” she wrote on Facebook. “The best way to report snow issues and other problems that need the city’s attention to 311 is with the BOS:311 app.”

Can you imagine Tom Menino lecturing residents to use the city app?

This week, Boston schools were closed for two days because sidewalks were impassable and some streets clogged with snow.

That’s not good enough.

In an update for the media, Boston Public Works claimed to be working “24/7 to clear snow, widen roadways, improve visibility around intersections and to ensure safe access to crosswalks and curb ramps.” And Public Works warned residents they will issue citations to those who don’t maintain a 42-inch wide path of travel.

“As of this morning, Code Enforcement issued 332 violations and has continued to respond to complaints throughout the day and will be working an overnight shift,” according to Anne Roach, communications director for the Office of Streets.

BPW offered the media a photo op of the city’s snow farms. That’s it. So much for transparency.

“Public Works is not scheduling interviews at this time,” Roach said.

Next time a big storm hits, which could be this weekend, Wu needs to be more visible and not leave the city’s residents and visitors in the lurch.

Maybe she should be less focused on making TikTok videos about President Trump, and more focused on keeping the city safe.
