| Snow Buddy extinct ?? |
The city of Vernon will cut back on its sidewalk snow clearing service next winter. City crews have been clearing sidewalks when there's more than 15 cm's of snow, or if they're inaccessible. But that will now fall on the property owner, a move that could save the city 20-thousand dollars a year. Operations Manager Shirley Koenig says people that aren't able to do it themselves, will have to get help. "Those individuals will either have to hire someone to do those sidewalks, or find a friend or snow buddy," Koenig told council. The change will also reduce the city's legal liability.
City To Look At Park Improvements
Vernon council will look into improving the Japanese Gardens in Polson Park. Councillor Mary Jo O'Keefe says there's been complaints, and the display needs some work. "The Japanese Gardens in the park are becoming worn. They certainly have not been maintained." Councillor Juliette Cunningham says the pond also needs improvements. City staff will provide a report on the issue at a future meeting.
