[RP TownTalk] Why such poor snow removal?

[Alice Ewen]

On snow removal, thanks for everyone's patience. The town has the same
plowing capacity as in the past, but with a record breaking storm, it is a
challenge to clear every street to the high standard you see on primary
roads.

There is a town work session tonight at 8:00 pm where there will be an
update on snow removal.
