Snow plow friction with driveways frustrates Shaniah residents
Shaniah’s municipality explains snow cleared off driveways is often pushed back by plows to keep roads open. Several passes may be needed, and banks may be moved to create room for more accumulation or drainage during thaw. Mailboxes struck by plow blades are repaired or replaced, but homeowners bear repair costs for damage from thrown snow. Pedestrian sandings are rejected as roads are for vehicles, not walkers.
