Anatomy
of a snow-storm clean-up
By

BATHURST – Winter can be an icicle-in-the-side for
many of Canada’s municipalities, especially for ones on the east-coast.
How
much money for the winter budget? Do we
have enough plows? And where to put all
that snow, are common conundrums for cities and towns.
On the other hand, you may not have much of a winter
at all, thanks to the unpredictable nature of old-man-winter.
You might have a wet winter, a conservative one or
it could just be a full blown snowpocalypse.
It also takes a tremendous amount of time, recourses
and planning to coordinate a winter-storm clean-up.
Either way, towns like Bathurst along with their
city workers must clear the streets, sidewalks and thoroughfares for people and
the municipality to go about their daily jobs.
