OAKLAND CITY, Ind. (WFIE) – After this winter storm slammed the Tri-State with several inches of snow officials, in Oakland City are re-thinking their plan for snow routes.
In this week’s city council meeting, the mayor reviewed the snow plows work and discussed what could be done better in the future.
Several residents complained that the plows were pushing the snow off the roads and on to their driveways and sidewalks making it hard for homeowners to clear their properties.
One local store owner says it’s been inconvenient for their business.
“It shut you off and you gotta put out all the money to get it removed and then it makes big piles,” says Jim Embry, owner of Grandpa’s Spot Shop. “It sits here for months and they take consideration of the safety of the people.”
A proposal for re-designating the snow routes is still under discussion and will be revisited at the next city council meetings.
