Jones plough chosen for Negaunee street and sidewalk use
Mayor Winter endorses the Jones pattern for both road and sidewalk ploughing after tests in several Upper Peninsula cities. The Jones plough is praised for scraping heavy drifts and leaving a smooth path, while existing equipment failed to satisfy. The sidewalk ploughs cut ridges and pedestrians’ corrugations, reducing slipperiness. The city notes high costs of winter road work and recalls past equipment like the snow roller. Delivery of the Jones ploughs is expected in about two weeks.
