Residents around Regina are voicing concerns over the city’s residential snow clearing efforts this season.
Residents around Regina are voicing concerns over the city’s residential snow clearing efforts this season.
In particular, ridges along the sides of residential streets are causing problems for some people.
“They don’t leave anywhere for residents to park,” Cassandra Fowler, a resident of the Greens on Gardiner neighbourhood, said.
“It’s very inconvenient. Our vehicles could get hit on the road, we could lose windows or doors when we’re getting out, also trying to get over the ridges to put groceries in the house.”
Fowler said she reached out to the city to voice her frustration.
“They came back with, ‘it’s privilege to park on the street and in the winter time, the street parking is to put their snow ridges.’” she said.
Like Fowler, Mitch Blyth lives on a street in the Greens on Gardiner where homes have no driveways. He relies on the street to park.
