Your Question: As a business owner downtown, I was wondering what it would take to get the gutters plowed after big storms. We often shovel our walks, but after parking customers have difficulty getting onto the sidewalk due to the extreme pile-up of snow on in the gutter.

Your Question: Is there any way to get the city to plow the streets that go around the schools in town? Especially around the elementary schools. It is dangerous trying to pick up kids when those roads are slushy, then when it freezes with all that slush its bounces your car all over the place. I think for the safety of our children we should have at least those areas in town be plowed.

Your Question: Why do you use sand/rock for snow/ice removal when salt is a much better alternative? Salt will melt the ice at a much colder temp then sand does. It doesnt have the rocks in it like sand, so there are no worries about damage to our cars like broken windshields (and don't try to tell me that no one has seen broken windshields). Because salt is more efficient, the roads stay safer and allow the plows to get to other roads like some of our residential ones.
