Resident raises safety concerns about snow plowing; trustees promise closer clearing
Summary
Resident Dan Clark told the Board that roads were not plowed to the curb, making two-way travel difficult and creating hazards for children; trustees said the village will push snow back during the thaw and plow closer to the roadway edge in future storms.
Resident Dan Clark addressed the Carbon Cliff Board on Dec. 16, saying recent snow plowing left streets uncleared to the curb and made it difficult for motorists to pass in both directions. Clark also warned the conditions were dangerous for children walking where sidewalks are absent.
Trustee Todd Cantrell and Trustee Robert Dreher, speaking for the Board, acknowledged the complaints and said the village has new snowplow drivers. "we will have them push the snow back during the current thaw, and we will make sure they plow closer to the edge of the roadway during subsequent snowstorms," the minutes state. The trustees described driver training and operational adjustments as the near-term remedy.
The exchange occurred during the "Hearing of the Citizens" portion of the meeting, with no formal motion recorded; the Board treated the matter as an operational issue they will address before the next storm. No specific timetable or metric for completion was provided.
