Residents in Bridgwater are voicing concerns about the delayed snow removal efforts and the potential dangers posed by snow accumulation.
A residential plow is expected to clear snow on Wednesday night. It will take approximately 300 pieces of heavy equipment and five 12-hour shifts to remove the snow. Residents like Debbi Ristimaki in Bridgwater are frustrated with the delayed snow removal . Ristimaki argues that more frequent clearing would prevent the buildup of ice, reducing the need for heavy equipment and potential damage.
She also expresses concern about the accumulating snow and the difficulty it creates for drivers, fearing accidents due to snow-covered corners. Ristimaki advocates for investing in existing services like snow removal rather than new projects. She criticizes the city's consideration of cutting services, particularly during winter weather. Mayor Gillingham clarifies that the pilot project for snow clearing is temporary and emphasizes that the city's service standard for snow removal has not been permanently changed
