Plowed shows up 7 hours after snow stops

Thank you to the City of Moncton once again for not showing up to plow the Berrys Mills Subdivision until 7 hours after the snow stopped today. (Snow ended at 7am, plow arrived at 2:15pm) I realize you can't be everywheres but today was unacceptable! It was really nice listening to the dispatcher and plow drivers laughing when the public called in to see when they would be plowed and they would say we will get there when we get there! I called Monarch Construction early this morning to see when they would arrive and all the man on the phone did was pass the buck saying they are only contracted by the City of Moncton to plow and don't know what area the trucks are in . Lived in this subdivision for 20 years it was great when we had a city worker that lived on our street early on but he moved , and so did the service, and now that Monarch is the plow service that does this area they never show up until long after the storm is over. WHAT IF THERE WAS A EMERGENCY ? We pay taxes and our service for snow plowing is NO GOOD . This subdivision is less then a mile from where the snow plows start from. People don't all work from 9 to 5 there were people that live in here coming home from working all night and not being able to get into the subdivision is wrong. The storm wasn't that big , we live in a snow belt, Moncton is used to weather like this. Soon as I got out of West Brook Circle , Kilam drive was down to bare pavement and so was most of the rest of the city. Taking the plows off the roads earlier on this morning was crazy. Like to hear from other people that are fed up with the service we get when it snows. Leave your story or comment PLEASE. This was publised in letters to the editor in the Moncton Transcript.

We live in Moncton off Katherine Avenue. We still only have just a "path" for a sidewalk. The worst thing is my little girl, who just turned 6 last week, has to walk to and from school. Yeah, she has either her daddy or myself to go with her, but the idea that my child's safety means nothing to the city of Moncton pisses me right off!!! What about the children that don't have someone walking them to school and then back home??? What if a car came a little fast off Mountain???? That would be bad.

You do realize you dont have the only road in the city right? It takes time... Some peoples kids...

[niselat]

@kelandaidansmom how about you get off the computer and go spend some time with those kids you are so worried about, eh?

[kelandaidansmom]

@niselat Seriously, this is enough. There is no reason to post ur simple little views on a video from almost 3 years ago. How bouts you stop trolling on videos and get a life...... just saying

[niselat]

@kelandaidansmom no you are a socialist because you expect the gub'mint to keep your kids safe. Please get fixed before you put more of them at risk.

Just sayin

[kelandaidansmom]

@niselat I'm a socialist because I worry about my kids? Wow....... Oh well. My life, my opinions. Deal with it or stfu. Just saying

[niselat]

@kelandaidansmom "my child's safety means nothing to the city" why don't you just keep her home?

f-ing socialists

[thehondafoxrider]

lol, your complaining about 7 hours later? last winter we got plows the next week... but i dont complain cause i like driving my quad or snowmobile down the road XD and it also keeps the amateurs off the roads and on the shoulders waiting for a tow truck

[nuckenfuts12]

Your lucky to get a plow 7 hours after he storm, where i used to live they plowed the streets twice maybe 3 times a winter and where i live now they usually do it 2-3 days after the storm which isn't very good but better than before.

Shoveling snow is not that bad, shoveling the snow the snow plow leaves at the end of your drive way priceless.
