City addresses snow removal
The ice-covered roads have been a topic of conversation and a reason for frustration for drivers throughout the city.
Mayor Bill Given shared his thoughts on the topic after Monday’s City Council meeting.
“The roads have been slippery over the last little while, but I know that in a space of less than a week, the city put out approximately 50 tonnes of grit and sand material,” says Given. “The extreme cold has also played a significant role at affecting the city’s response.”
Given says he acknowledges that there is some public perception that not enough is being done to maintain the city’s streets. He notes crews are working on sanding roadways and removing ruts formed from ice.
