DOI obtained and viewed 24 hours of footage from City
surveillance cameras in various parts of the City, which collectively
showed approximately 265 City trucks in the streets on December 26th to

an explanation from the video as to why some trucks had plows lifted,
while others with raised plows are not readily explainable from the
video footage. The tapes were turned over to DSNY for further analysis.
