Snow pushed on sidewalks by snow-clearing city crews unacceptable, senior says

A senior says a city plow pushed snow onto their sidewalk and it hasn't been dealt with

A resident in Moose Jaw located on the 950 block of Coteau St. W reached out to the The Moose Jaw Express/MooseJawToday.com regarding their dissatisfaction with City Hall regarding snow removal and had hoped for an earlier resolve to the problem by the city themselves.  

Last week, the day before Remembrance Day, the resident said that the city plowed this street and pushed all of the snow onto the sidewalk in front of the residences. The resident is a senior and told the Express that she called the city regarding this situation last Thursday, Nov 12 to complain that this was unacceptable. They then called again on Friday, November 13th to make a complaint and the person spoke to an individual who said they would attend to the situation.  

Again, a call was made to City Hall this week on Tuesday and still there has been no resolution to this issue. 

This senior feels this is simply unacceptable, while also mentioning there are a number of aged individuals on this street that find it difficult to move the snow off.  

We are all wondering why this situation is taking a full week to address or resolve when this person afore-mentioned saw city snow cleaning crews on streets very close by?  

It is very unfortunate that citizens of Moose Jaw who pay taxes feel disregarded by city hall in their complaints after numerous calls, and feel the only recourse is to air their problems with the city publicly.
