Thankful for the work the town's snow clearing people do... ? Me too. Thanks Dwayne and crew.

Some commentary here:
As one of the “complainees”, I can attest that the complaint was not that the Town staff aren’t working hard- I am well aquainted with the misery of working through the night and admire their dedication. But sidewalk clearing is not adequate- the streets are bare and dry and the sidewalks have 5 cm or more of mushy snow, often with underlying ice. Pedestrians are forced to take to the roadways with cars that still are exceeding the speed limits. This state of affairs can exist for several days after a snowfall, and car-pedestrain collisions don’t end well for pedestrians.
My suggestion is that the Town prioritize pedestrian safety over vehicular convenience, and put at least equivalent effort into sidewalk clearance as they do road clearance.
And yes, I would like to see recreational venues such as Beech Hill Park, the Walker Road trails and the Waterfowl park made accessible as soon as possible, given the heavy useage of these facilities, but recognize that all the Rink’s parking lots need first to be cleared down to pavement in case someday, sometime, it needs to be used as a warming center.
