Snow Removal Complaints in Williams Lake

Over at the Williams Lake Tribune - a local resident complains about the poor snow removal done in the City in light of last week's heavy snow fall - see here

Note - Given the above, not only should the City of Williams Lake have a proactive brochure which explains snow removal procedures in the City (Note - City of Quesnel already does this) and the City's CAO is taking this idea under advisement but in addition, the City should have a public meeting with residents', in the near future, over snow removal procedures in order to explain the snow removal procedures but to also allow input from residents' on what the City could be doing better in the department of snow removal.  After all, it is the same residents' who pay for this service and they have a reasonable expectation to talk with the very people (City Staff) who provide the service and suggest ways/methods on how this (snow removal) could be done better.  This is something I hear from constantly from residents' - poor snow removal each snow year

The story you link to is not about the City's snow clearing as you indicate, it is on Highway 20 and the responsibility of the highways contractor.
Even if the city wanted to it can't touch ths part of the highway.
Your shoddy "reporting" and your obvious bias against anything City to further your own political agenda is shameless. At least get the basic facts straight before you start pointing fingers at City Hall.
As for snow clearing in the past week I beleive it has been exxceptional given the amount of snow we received and the resources the City has to deal with.
I expect you'll use your moderating ability to ensure this never gets posted which will just further my argument.
