Slapdash snow plowing

We had a good snow fall on Thursday night and Friday morning on the Old Summit Lake Road South - close to 14 inches fell in that period. We never saw a snow plow or heard of one till early Saturday morning, which is a school bus route.

We had a good snow fall on Thursday night and Friday morning on the Old Summit Lake Road South - close to 14 inches fell in that period.

We never saw a snow plow or heard of one till early Saturday morning, which is a school bus route. Whoever they sent out to so call plow might as well stayed in bed, he only skimmed about 2 inches off and dropped what it looked like salt to melt the rest, every 20 feet, and left soft spots in the snow where he should of plowed it off in the first place.

The last mile of the Old Summit Lake Road is Regional District, plus Goose Country is also. The city must contract the old Summit Lake Road out to Yellowhead Road & Bridge because they have to come and plow out this way anyway. The road was so rough from lack of what he was supposed to do in the first place.

YRB have been good in the past but I wouldn't give this plow truck driver E for effort.
