BATTLEFORD - Mayor Ames Leslie has a message for those residents in Battleford shoveling snow from their properties.
“Please, please, stop, stop pushing your snow into the street”, said Leslie at the town council meeting Monday.
“Not only is it against town bylaws and you could be charged for it, it becomes dangerous, it can wreck vehicles. There has been a large uptake of snow being pushed into the streets. I understand there’s lots of snow and they run out of places to go but the town crews are doing a tremendous job to remove the snow.”
Mayor Leslie acknowledged town crews were doing a great job in keeping the streets clean. But Leslie noted that while driving around town he’s seen a lot of snow on the streets, and the town’s management team have been asking for a plea to stop the on-street dumping.
