Snow clearing during ‘Games’ bound to be top notch

Snow clearing during ‘Games’ bound to be top notch

Re: Snow Removal If we can't afford proper snow removal in the "we are a winter city," how can we afford the winter games. Imagine the impression visitors will get when there is 18 inches of slush and snow on our streets.
