Downtown Businesses Complain About Snow Removal

Some business owners in Kenora are complaining about the size of snow banks in the downtown area.

The issue of snow removal came up at the Kenora Business Improvement Zone meeting this week.

Some businesses on Second Street South say it takes far too long for the snow banks to be removed.

While snow removal has been fairly timely on Main Street, other areas tend to lag behind.

A city spokesperson says with all the snow this year, it's been difficult to do very much snow removal.

Most of the city resources these days have been put towards plowing city streets, and road crews can
only get to the snow banks, once all the roads are cleared.
