Some Williams Lake residents living in the 200 block of Fourth Avenue North are hoping the city will improve the sidewalk adjacent to their properties.
City council received a letter on behalf of the group at its regular meeting Tuesday, April 5 and referred it to the public works committee for further discussion.
The letter’s writer Sonja Vernon-Wood noted they are having difficulty keeping the sidewalk clear of snow because it has no curb.
“Consequently the snow plough has no frame of reference, resulting in huge amounts of snow being pushed up onto the sidewalk.”
While the residents are “happy to keep the sidewalk clear of snow” and “fellow citizens safe from falling,” the residents are requesting mayor and council assist by installing a proper and safe sidewalk with a proper curb.
She told the Tribune the sidewalk is used heavily in the winter by pedestrians.
