Residents Must Work Hand in Hand with the Borough

Since Tuesday morning, some one hundred workers have moved into action to clear the 35 cm of snow that fell on Monday. To restore your access to at least one side of the street as fast as possible, the crews cleared the streets quickly as a first step; however, due to the heavy snowfall and some equipment breakdowns, they will have to continue their work on Saturday and even into the beginning of next week.

Our crews encountered many obstacles. A number of snowblower breakdowns were caused by objects such as logs, cement blocks, pieces of metal, etc., that were pushed into the street by private contractors in clearing the snow from driveways. These objects cause breakdowns, not only because parts have to be replaced, but also because during that time, the rest of the crew has to wait, as they can't do anything without the snowblower.
