Downed Wires and Caution Tape Mark "Top" of Springfield

While much of Springfield is back to business as usual, the neighborhoods closest to Summit and highest in elevation were still dealing with a dozens of broken wires and cordoned off areas as of 2 p.m. on Monday, Oct. 31.

The neighborhood, nicknamed "the top," because of its elevation, seemed disproportionally affected by the snowstorm, with many roads difficult to navigate due to felled power lines.

In a afternoon notice to parents, Thelma L. Sandmeier Elementary School Principal Hillary Corburn announced the school would not provide transportation to the top of Springfield until further notice. She advised to check the district website for any and all updates.
