Let’s talk about a lack of maintenance of our major roads, snowplowing seems to be random and not consistent, the roads are plowed by just cars driving over it, the major arteries have no salt on the ground, people getting stuck and not able to move out of their parking lot when the snow plowing does occur, it cages people in. This council has no idea how and when to spend money in this town. Oh i forgot, we did have enough cash to spend 1.2 million dollars on the roadsigns that look like the ones in Whistler, cause we have the money they do apparently, and notice how small the writing is? Yeah, I rest my case.
