The sidewalk plows that ordinarily clear snow seemed to be mostly zooming around the roads, driving past uncleared sidewalks. I have seen this, as I am a letter carrier and I am baffled as there has been no progress with sidewalk clearing, unlike previous snow events. Might you be able to find out why?

Response from Cheri Davidson, manager of communications for Kawartha Lakes:

Due to the volume of snow received over the course of two days, with the addition of freezing temperatures, road operations staff are managing removal and clearing of snow as best as possible while managing weather conditions.

There may be some delays experienced in removal of snow on side roads and sidewalks, as staff are following Ministry of Transportation standards and ensuring that major and arterial are cleared as a priority.

Please be patient and should individuals wish to report snow removal concerns in their area, visit the city's website.
