The social media notes, have spurred on a bit of a discussion on the state of the city's sidewalks with some participants making note that a number of the walkways of the community are in need of some immediate attention beyond gardening themes.
More notes on the city's Operations themes can be reviewed from our archive page.

Not to sound like a negative Nathan, but we need more bylaw enforcement and less kumbaya facebook posts from our city.
ReplyDeleteStill waiting on that follow up action plan regarding the snow removal fail from this past winter.
Feel free to sound negative. The city inaction on snow removal both by the property owners and lately the city forces on our roads has been atrocious.
DeleteEvery year the mayor and councilors talk tough after a snow event, then nothing happens.
