shake your head people 3 million and they havent even touched the residential areas yet! main roads and downtown 3 and 4 times, do they pay more taxes.

i think the snow clearing has been good this year. better than before i feel.

"shake your head people 3 million and they havent even touched the residential areas yet! main roads and downtown 3 and 4 times, do they pay more taxes."

-If they focused their resources more on the residences and neglected downtown then people would bitch that the downtown is not cleared good enough.

I don't think you fully understand how the budget works for the snow removal. It begins Jan 1 and runs to Dec 31st 2007. This budget was used last winter( 24 days of heavy snow Jan and Feb). I think they have done a great job and will finish close to the allowable budget!

3 million for Januar to beginning of December is not bad. 1 million left to spend for December.

correct!

Ahhhaaa !!!.... so that's why they are holding off on my street... they already know it will cost about a $million to remove the snow from there... neat!

Thanks for clearing that up !!

Snowtimes... :-)

I think the city does an awesome job too at clearing the streets. I've lived in other cities that do not do as good a job as they do here. 3 cheers to the city workers !!!

How anyone can refer to the Citys Snow Removal as being awesome is beyond me. My residential area hasnt seen, nor heard a snowplow since it started snowing.

There was a time when all the town would have been completed by now, however with the stupid planning that takes place in this City you are now faced with fewer people but a much larger area to clear. Wait until they start plowing Tyner, UNBC, and Fraser River Bench. You will be lucky to get plowed twice a year.
