Snow removal

Priorities

Lots of effort removing snow on 3rd

  Elsewhere

Pedestrians fen for themselves

Here the snow plow has caused the problem

 

 

Will these priorities lead to law suit?--

I was told an older man slipped on ice here Thursday afternoon– badly bleeding from head – ambulance etc came --- sidewalks had been cleared by merchants – only snow was in the crosswalk and berm of street (location 1st Avenue across from the Museum)

 

City plows are usually the cause of snows on sides of street

 

 

City crews go around clearing at bus stops – which at times almost humorous – how is the foot passenger to get to the clearing if not by walking in street?

 

At least on image right the plowed snow bank has been opened so people can cross the street

Mainly the bus stops cleaned

 

Storm coming

Winds predicted to get up to 55 knots – but at least it is bringing warmer temperatures along with it

 

 

Ling Tailors old building to be demolished?

I mentioned earlier how snow weighed down over head awning – City had it removed – then scaffolding was up higher (image below)– talk was the whole building was to be demolished---(owner not responding, taxes(?), etc)

But scaffolding now gone – and if further actions presumably have to go through Council and legal paperwork etc

 

home Harware with lumber? Must be the new hardware store in Mall

Here is one place City dumping snow – I’ll watch what happens over time as melts etc

 

 

For Tanalee ‘story’ see here with links at bottom page

We See --- ad for Corporate Administrator

That position has been being filled by acting appointments --- thus advertising for ‘permanent’ applicant must mean that former holder of position (Doug Jay) has been terminated --- or resigned.

So far my request for details have not been answered – stay tuned.

Really interesting question is will Gordon Howie’s wife get this position? Howie’s contract needs renewing soon – so can’t afford to lose him this late in game – so he has bargaining power
